If your period is irregular after your transplant, you should discuss this with your doctor. Female transplant patients of childbearing age who want to have children should consult with their doctor before becoming pregnant. Though childbirth is often possible, there are serious health considerations for you and your baby. Male transplant patients of childbearing age usually remain fertile. In fact, male kidney recipients who were infertile often become fertile.
Any infection following a transplant is serious.
If your partner has open sores on his or her genitals or in the mouth, abstain from sex. If you develop unusual sores or vaginal or penile discharge, see your doctor. Some post-transplant medications may impair sexual function. If you think this may be true in your case, talk to your doctor or specialist.
