Sexuality has physical and emotional components, both of which can be affected by chronic kidney disease (CKD)

-Fatigue is one of the most common symptoms men with kidney disease experience you can check with a dietician . The dietitian will place you on a kidney-friendly diet designed to limit the amount of waste that can build up in your body. The less waste and fluid in your system, the better you will feel.
Your renal dietitian can help you go over your food and fluid intake and make any needed changes

- lifestyle changes, such as exercise, can dramatically improve testosterone levels, exercise not only increases levels of the testosterone hormone, but also improves muscle mass, strength, physical function

- Men with renal disease may find their hormone levels changing. If hormone levels become out of balance, you may experience a decrease in your sex drive.
check with our your doctor,he can perform blood work to determine if your lack of interest in sex is due to your changing hormone levels. He may prescribe medicine to bring your levels to a normal range.

-Diabetes and high blood pressure are the leading causes of chronic kidney disease. These conditions affect blood flow and weaken blood vessels. If you have either of these conditions, it is important you follow your doctor’s treatment plan to prevent further damage.

-Sometimes erectile dysfunction is a side effect of medicines, particularly those taken to control blood pressure. Talk to your doctor about the medicines you are taking if you are experiencing impotence. Your doctor can discuss the problem with you and may be able to make changes to your medications or suggest treatments for erectile dysfunction.

And, as always, carefully following your treatment program can make a major difference in how you feel. Dealing with a chronic illness can be a challenge. Taking some positive actions and maintaining a healthy outlook makes it possible to live a happy, productive, fulfilling life.
