Q: My husband underwent kidney transplantation some months ago. Will having sex everyday affect his health? How often can we have sex?
A:Patients with kidney failure have difficulties with sexual functions. A successful kidney transplantation normalises these abnormal function. A person with kidney transplant usually recovers his/her physical strength in about 2 months and he/she can enjoy normal sexual activity without any effect on the health or kidney function. There is no limit to the frequency.
