ABSTRACT
The quality of sexual life is important for renal transplantation recipients. With the increase of survival rate of renal transplantation, the quality of the male recipients' sexual life, especially their erectile function, has been generally remarked. The prevalence of ED is 35.8%-78.3% in male allograft renal transplantation recipients. And it can be caused by various factors, such as age, dialysis time, modus operandi, hemoglobin level, deprementia, immunosuppressant, and diabetes. We give an overview of the therapeutic options for ED in this special population. Sildenafil is effective and safe. If the oral drug fails, we can choose intracavernosal injection and penile prosthesis implantation. Nevertheless, three-piece prostheses should be avoided.
