There is such a problem that all kidney disease patients are very concerned about. From uremia to ordinary nephritis, patients ask:
Can kidney disease patients have sex
When one or two people ask this question, the editor responds individually. But searching for these two months' messages, there are 14 messages containing the keyword 'sexual life' (excluding many other indescribable words), and it is estimated that there are still many patients who have this question but haven't spoken up. Since everyone is in such good spirits, today we will take a look at the scientific popularization of kidney disease patients undergoing XXOO.
Is sexual activity allowed within the nephrotic group?
In fact, most kidney disease patients can have sex.
Sexual activity does not directly damage the kidneys, so if 'moderate', sexual activity will not worsen kidney disease. Especially for patients with kidney disease who have good renal function but are only in the inflammatory response phase, sexual activity is generally unobstructed.
Which kidney disease patients are not suitable for sexual activity?
Uremic patients
Because the large amount of creatinine produced by muscle movement cannot be excreted, it can cause further elevation of blood creatinine and endanger other organs.
Malignant hypertension
Nephrotic patients with blood pressure exceeding 180/100mmHg are not suitable for any vigorous exercise, including 'hehehehehe'.
Cyst
Whether it is a renal cyst or a polycystic kidney, cyst rupture is very serious and can lead to acute kidney failure.
Active patients
Patients with long-term urinary protein and occult blood retention, or recurrent kidney disease, are also not suitable for sexual activity. Because the condition is in an active phase, which is the most fragile time for the kidneys, it is important to avoid causing damage to the renal parenchyma.
Urinary tract infection
Kidney disease itself increases the chance of urinary tract infections, especially for women, where sexual activity is more likely to exacerbate the infection. Non complex urinary tract infection (UTI) is a common disease, especially in women with frequent sexual activity.
What are the benefits of sexual activity for patients with kidney disease?
If the kidney disease is in a stable stage and the kidney function is good, moderate sexual activity is beneficial: firstly, it improves blood circulation, increases detoxification ability, and improves the living environment of the kidney; Secondly, it is to enhance physical fitness, as sexual activity can enhance immunity, which is particularly important for patients with kidney disease; Most importantly, sexual activity can promote family harmony, which is immeasurable for kidney disease patients.
Suggestion:
The frequency should not exceed once a week and the time should not exceed twenty minutes.
