Question

Can people with kidney disease have sexual intercourse? (Only swelling in the eyes, no other obvious symptoms)

Answer

  1. You are relatively young and your creatinine levels have already increased, which is a very poor prognostic indicator, as it won’t be until you’re almost 50 years old even after 20 years. Therefore, you must maintain kidney function now, first by not allowing it to rise further, and then by gradually lowering it.
  2. How to prevent creatinine levels from rising? First, by reducing proteinuria, and second, by strictly controlling blood pressure.
  3. As for sexual activity, of course it can be pursued. Perhaps some doctors advise patients not to engage in sexual activity, or some patients themselves are afraid to do so. But I always tell my patients that they can engage in it. Without sexual activity, the family is unstable, and the quality of life is affected. As for whether sexual activity affects the kidneys, as long as it is not excessive, it is fine. One to two times a week is still acceptable.
  4. Your seminal emission has no relation to your sexual activity or nephritis (tonsillitis). If it occurs very frequently, you should consult a doctor.
