Patient's question:
Hello expert, I have kidney disease for two years, and my urine test results are good. I have been off medication for half a year, and my urine test after stopping medication was also normal. Last week's urine test showed protein + 0.1. Can I still have sex? The doctor prescribed some Nephritis Recovery Tablets to strengthen my kidneys. Can I still have sex? Will it immediately lead to uremia if I do? I'm very urgent. Will having sex lead to uremia?Doctor's answer:
For patients with glomerulonephritis, sexual life should pay attention to the following points:1. During the acute phase, patients should be advised to stay in bed completely and avoid sexual activity. Even if the condition improves and sexual desire arises, strict restraint is necessary. Spouses should have a full understanding of this.
2. For chronic glomerulonephritis patients, when their overall condition is stable and the disease is under control, they can engage in moderate sexual activity. The frequency should not be too high, and the duration should not be too long, with the limit being not feeling exhausted. In the early stages of resuming sexual activity, regular urine and renal function tests should be conducted.
3. If sexual dysfunction occurs, active treatment of kidney disease is necessary. Once the condition is effectively controlled, sexual function may also improve. Avoid self-medication with various drugs to enhance sexual desire, as this often leads to the opposite result.
4. Patients with uremia are strictly prohibited from engaging in active or passive sexual activity. Spouses must show full understanding. After undergoing hemodialysis or kidney transplantation, patients' sexual desire may recover to varying degrees. However, caution is still recommended in such cases.
5. Young female patients who desire to have children must obtain medical consent. The principle is that renal function must be basically normal, and hypertension must be effectively controlled.
