Many patients with kidney failure not only affect their physical health but also their psychological emotions as the disease worsens. Many people become very negative when they know that their condition cannot be controlled or worsens, which is detrimental to the treatment of kidney failure. Especially through long-term dialysis, it greatly affects people's psychology.
Perhaps all the above is true, but things are not so pessimistic. Although the physical strength may not be as good as that of ordinary people after kidney failure, relying on the efficacy of erythropoietin, as long as sufficient doses are injected, the vast majority of anemia can be corrected. Of course, it is greatly beneficial for patients' physical strength. After combining traditional Chinese and Western medicine treatment and adopting the "Niaoduling" series as the core comprehensive treatment, some patients can even engage in work that ordinary people often dare not try, such as weightlifting, blacksmith, and so on.
Another common misconception that can seriously affect mental health is - will kidney failure be transmitted to family members? Can I have dinner with my family? In fact, the vast majority of kidney diseases are not contagious at all, so it's natural to have meals with family.
As mentioned earlier, the vast majority of women undergoing dialysis will experience infertility, but relatively speaking, the vast majority of men undergoing dialysis will not lose their fertility, and the frequency of sexual intercourse has decreased according to research.
Many patients stay at home all day because they are afraid of traveling. Some people feel that their physical condition is like a candle in the wind, uncertain. Some kidney patients are afraid that going elsewhere for dialysis may cause side effects such as not being able to wash thoroughly. In fact, not washing thoroughly once or twice will not cause harm to the body. If there is appropriate travel, it can undoubtedly improve both the body and mind.
The pain of renal failure during the treatment process can only be felt by the patient themselves, but if treated properly, there is no problem. Often, the key lies in whether the patient is optimistic about facing all negative factors during the treatment process, which is very helpful for the entire stage of treatment.
