AI Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to investigate changes in sexual function among male kidney transplant recipients aged 26 to 45.
- Results showed that sexual function declined significantly after renal failure but improved post-transplantation, though it did not fully return to normal.
- The findings suggest the importance of sexual health education for kidney transplant patients and their partners to address concerns about sex life impacting kidney health.
Article Abstract
Objective: To observe the change of sexual function in male kidney transplant recipients.
Methods: Sixty married males, aged 26 to 45 years, who had received kidney transplantations at least half a year before and whose serum creatinine (Scr) was under 200 mumol/L, were selected randomly in the study. Sexual functions were reviewed before and after the patients' renal failure and after kidney transplantations. The results were analyzed in Chi-Square test methods.
Results: Their sexual functions, significantly aggravated after renal failure, were improved after kidney transplantations, but failed to return to normal. The recipients had a common worry that their sex lives might affect the renal grafts.
Conclusions: Kidney transplantations significantly improve the sexual functions of these renal failure patients. It is quite necessary to provide sexological guidance to kidney transplant recipients and their spouses.
