Patient's question:
Recently, my appetite has been poor, and I've been experiencing some swelling in my body. I feel completely exhausted. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, they said it was kidney disease. Can men with uremia still have erections?Doctor's answer:
In medicine, whether uremic patients are male or female, they are more or less affected in terms of sexual desire. Most patients experience a decrease in libido after developing uremia, and some male patients may even have difficulty with penile erection. As a result, the quality of sexual life may also decline. It is recommended that patients undergo dialysis to remove accumulated toxins, alleviate the damage caused by the disease to the body, which is beneficial for penile erection.
