Patient's question:
For four consecutive months, my menstrual cycle has been irregular. Sometimes it has clots, and at other times, the abdominal pain is severe. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, tumor cells were found in my pelvis, and it was diagnosed as pelvic cancer. I have now been hospitalized and treated for three months. I would like to know if people with pelvic cancer can have sexual activity?Doctor's answer:
Treatment for pelvic cancer depends on the type of cancer, the patient's physical condition, and their own mental state. As long as the appropriate method is chosen and treatment is actively pursued, it can achieve the goals of improving quality of life, reducing symptoms, and prolonging life. Advanced pelvic cancer patients should maintain an optimistic attitude, actively cooperate with treatment, and receive standardized and professional treatment as soon as possible, as this is the key to extending life. Traditional Chinese medicines such as Xiannao (Curculigo orchioides), Zhifanxia (Pinellia ternata), Buguozhi (Psoralea corylifolia), Duhuo (Cyperus rotundus), Shichangpu (Acorus tatarinowii), Xianhecao (Ilex asprella), Daji (Cirsium japonicum), Shannai (Sasa borealis), Gouqizi (Lycium barbarum), Yiyiren (Coix lacryma-jobi), Diyu (Sanguisorba officinalis), Baqian (Asarum europaeum), Zhijieji (Trionyx sinensis), Lianqiao (Forsythia suspensa), Zi cao (Isatis indigotica), 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 immune function of the body to suppress the growth of cancer cells, ultimately achieving the goal of defeating cancer. They can also prevent residual cancer cells from returning and prevent recurrence and metastasis.
