Patient's question:
I have had irregular menstruation for four consecutive months. Sometimes there is blood clots, and sometimes I have severe abdominal pain. The pain is radiating, and sometimes it's so intense that I can't straighten up my back. As a result, I went to the hospital for a check-up and found tumor cells. After being diagnosed, it was determined to be pelvic cancer. I am very scared. Can I have sex without surgery for pelvic cancer?Doctor's answer:
Treatment for pelvic cancer depends on the specific cancer, the patient's physical condition, and their own mental outlook. As long as appropriate methods are chosen and treatment is pursued actively, the goal of improving quality of life, alleviating symptoms, and extending life can be achieved. Advanced pelvic cancer patients should maintain a positive attitude, actively cooperate with treatment, and receive standardized, professional care as soon as possible, as this is key to prolonging life. Traditional Chinese medicines such as Xiannao (Curculigo orchioides), Zhifanxia (Pinellia ternata), Buguozhi (Psoralea corylifolia), Duhuo (Cissampelos pareira), Shichangpu (Acorus calamus), Xiannihuo (Astragalus membranaceus), Daji (Cynanchum atratum), Shannai (Alpinia chinensis), Gouqizi (Lycium barbarum), Yiyiren (Coix lacryma-jobi), Diyu (Sanguisorba officinalis), Baqian (Asarum europaeum), Zhifuji (Trionyx sinensis), Lianqiao (Forsythia suspensa), Zishe (Prunella vulgaris), Taoren (Peach kernel) are used in combination therapy. These traditional Chinese medicines, when used together, can effectively control the metastasis and spread of cancer cells, enhance the body's immune function to suppress cancer cell growth, ultimately achieving the goal of overcoming cancer. They can also prevent residual cancer cells from returning and prevent recurrence and metastasis.
