If you are healthy donating a kidney will not cause any adverse effects on your health. You will be able to have sex and lead a normal life in addition to have had the satisfaction of having helped your mom.

Living kidney donation or emotional related kidney donation is very common. Study for living donors have not shown any significant health deleterious effects in the long term except the donors have a slightly higher risk of hypertension and proteinuria when they get old. Donation does not affect sex or the ability to get pregnant. In general, living donors lives a healthier life after the event.
