Patient's question:
I have had pelvic inflammatory disease for a long time. Recently, I went for a physical examination and found that it has turned into pelvic cancer. I am now actively undergoing treatment. I would like to ask if it is possible to have sexual activity two months after radiotherapy and chemotherapy for pelvic cancer?Doctor's answer:
Chemotherapy involves administering drugs through the bloodstream to affect all cells in the body. It is suitable for patients who cannot undergo surgical resection or radiation therapy, as well as those with advanced or metastatic tumors. Due to the significant side effects of chemotherapy, sexual activity is not recommended after treatment to promote better recovery.The occurrence of gynecological tumors not only affects a woman's physical health but also leads to gynecological diseases. Therefore, it is best to undergo an ultrasound examination at the gynecology department of a hospital to identify the cause and receive targeted treatment. Additionally, maintaining good personal hygiene and keeping the vulvar skin clean is essential.
