Patient's question:
My classmate is a pelvic cancer patient and has been undergoing chemotherapy. I heard her husband has been wanting to be intimate with her, but he's afraid it might affect her condition. Can she have sexual activity during pelvic cancer chemotherapy?Doctor's answer:
From the perspective of your physical recovery, sexual activity is not recommended during chemotherapy or radiation therapy.It is recommended to undergo Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and herbal treatment. TCM can clear heat, detoxify, activate blood circulation, resolve blood stasis, soften and dissolve hard masses, control the spread of cancer cells, prevent recurrence and metastasis, and improve quality of life.
