Chances of Having Sex: Men
Transplant may be better
than in-center hemodialysis .
Studies show a lot fewer men on
hemodialysis than men with a
transplant have sex.
Here’s what one study showed:
Transplant In-center
Hemodialysis
58 out of 100 men with a
transplant had sex in the past
two weeks.
24 out of 100 men on in-center
hemodialysis had sex in the past
two weeks.
= 1 man who had sex recently
= 1 man who did not have sex recently
= 1 man who had sex recently
= 1 man who did not have sex recently
There are no studies to tell if transplant is better than
peritoneal dialysis for chances of having sex.
Talk to your doctor about what might be better for you.
