How do liver disease patients have sex
Sexual activity is an important component of marital life, but the amount of exercise required for a one-time life is equivalent to a 100 meter race, which is definitely a significant burden for patients with liver function damage. Therefore, sexual activity must be moderate:
Firstly, during the acute phase of hepatitis, patients with acute viral hepatitis may experience liver cell damage, insufficient physical strength, and decreased libido. After six months of normal sexual activity, they can begin sexual activity to avoid feeling fatigued.
Secondly, patients with chronic hepatitis are strictly prohibited from engaging in sexual activity during the onset of the disease. Otherwise, the condition may worsen. In addition, as chronic hepatitis can severely damage the liver, even if the patient's various test indicators are normal, it is best to resume sexual activity after six months or a year.
Thirdly, if patients with chronic liver disease do not develop symptoms, they can engage in moderate sexual activity. The frequency of sexual activity is generally 1-2 times a week for young people, 1-2 times a week for middle-aged people, and 1-2 times a month in the later stages of middle age. Please stop during the period of poor liver function, especially when Transaminase is unstable or jaundice continues to rise.
It is worth noting that hepatitis is a highly infectious disease. The saliva, semen, Vaginal discharge, etc. of hepatitis B patients can carry the virus for a long time. Therefore, when engaging in sexual activity, use protective measures such as condoms to avoid kissing, oral sex, and menstrual sex with your partner.
