<s>[INST] ARE THERE SEXUAL PROBLEMS TO FACE? [/INST] The majority of male and female dialysis patients have sexual difficulties. Impotence is the most common problem but treatment is usually successful. Kidney failure affects the periods. Pregnancy is less likely but contraception is still needed. If a woman with kidney failure gets pregnant, there are serious risks to both mother and baby. A successful pregnancy is sometimes possible. If a woman with kidney failure wants to get pregnant, it is best to do so either in the early stages of kidney failure or after a transplant. Source: NATIONAL KIDNEY FEDERATION.
