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. I was wondering if sexual activity affects polycystic kidney disease?Doctor's answer:
If there is a case of polycystic kidney disease, it is generally still never affected by sexual life. If there is sexual life, it will never cause significant damage to polycystic kidney disease. However, if the cysts become excessively large, it may cause symptoms such as pain in the kidney area and hematuria. If the cysts become too large, it is necessary to perform surgery promptly to avoid the occurrence of kidney failure.
