In the impression of many people, kidney function seems to be a synonym for sexual function and ability, as if kidney function itself is a factor that affects fertility. But in reality, we know that the vast majority of infertility is caused by various reproductive diseases, and the kidney is only related to urine and filtration, and there seems to be no significant correlation between the two. So will kidney function affect fertility? Do you need to check kidney function before giving birth?

1、 Reasons for poor renal function

The common cause of renal dysfunction is holding urine, which can breed bacteria in the bladder for a long time. Bacteria retrograde through the ureter to the kidneys, leading to urinary tract infections and pyelonephritis. Staying up late, staying up for a long time, working under high pressure, and drinking strong tea and coffee are all prone to kidney function problems. Eating salty food without drinking water can lead to increased blood pressure and inability to maintain normal blood flow in the kidneys, leading to kidney disease. Eating seafood, drinking beer, indiscriminate use of drugs, excessive medication, and other factors that affect blood detoxification.

Men do not need to do it, but women generally do it, which is related to pregnancy. Before delivery, pregnant women need to undergo a comprehensive physical examination and must be tested for liver and kidney function. It is mainly to determine whether there are liver and kidney diseases by detecting the five items of hepatitis B and liver and kidney functions. It is also necessary to check blood routine, bleeding time and coagulation time., In order to avoid any abnormal situations during delivery and receive timely treatment.

Generally speaking, as long as the problem of renal function is not too significant, uremia requires dialysis, or other systemic symptoms occur, it is generally not necessary to pay too much attention to renal function. In situations where kidney function is particularly poor, male physical weakness is multifaceted, not just limited to the reproductive system. But if it is only a minor renal function issue, it has almost no impact on male reproduction. Male fertility is only related to the testicles, the gonadal organ that produces sperm. The impact of kidney function on reproduction is a traditional Chinese medicine statement. And even in traditional Chinese medicine, sexual function issues are not entirely related to the kidneys. So saying that kidney function has an impact on reproduction is purely a rumor spread through error!
