For most patients diagnosed with cancer, this is a very challenging and stressful time. During the treatment process, changes may occur in the body and this may also affect the sexual life.

First, it's important to understand how your sexual functions will be affected during cancer treatment. During the treatment process, hormonal balances, damage to the genitals, sexual reluctance may occur. However, it is possible for patients diagnosed with cancer to return to their sexual lives after treatment.

I have some suggestions for you about what you can do to protect and maintain your sexual life before, during and after the treatment:

Talk to your doctor before treatment: Before starting treatment, talk to your doctor about sexual health issues. Find out what you can expect during and after treatment.

Give yourself time: After being diagnosed with cancer, the fact that your sex life can change can be challenging. Give yourself time and allow yourself to adapt to the new situation.

If you feel discomfort during intercourse, stop: If you feel pain, discomfort or pain during intercourse, stop immediately. Talk to your doctor and find out the cause of the condition.

Seek sex therapy: During the treatment process, sex therapy can help you. Sex therapy can help with issues such as sexual dysfunctions, relationship problems, and issues with gender identity.

Be open with yourself and your partner: Be open with yourself and your partner and talk about your sexual health issues. These conversations can bring you closer and rekindle your sex life.

In conclusion: Remember that your sex life may change during cancer treatment. However, you can return to your sex life after treatment. Talk to your doctor, give yourself time, and consider options like sex therapy.
