Patient's question:
Recently, my appetite has been poor, and I've been experiencing some swelling in my body. I feel weak all over. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, they said it's kidney disease. Can people with polycystic kidney disease have sex?Doctor's answer:
Hello, polycystic kidney disease does not interfere with sexual function. Patients with mild polycystic kidney disease can engage in sexual activity. In severe polycystic kidney disease, where protein reappears in the urine, sexual activity should be restricted, meaning it is still possible to have sex, but the frequency should be reduced. Patients with severe polycystic kidney disease need early surgical treatment to alleviate the pressure through surgery.
