Radical able to resume normal sex life?

Most cervical cancer patients after treatment can resume a normal sexual life. The incidence of cervical cancer would take roughly 10 ~ 15, the incidence of a variety of factors, the results sexual life is only one of the factors. Cervical cancer after treatment will relapse mainly depend on whether treatment thoroughly and immune function of two factors.

Instead, happy married life is conducive to the spirit of patients with immune function and psychological rehabilitation. It can not be denied surgery or radiation therapy on sexual function of patients had some effect, with the loss of ovarian function, while genital anatomy change.

Treatment of patients so that the loss of ovarian function, but they like postmenopausal women, Adrenocortical role will reach a hormone function and not subject to affected. At this point the role of adrenal cortex will reach a new dominant position. As for the vagina due to a better scalability, through the positive approach is fully adaptive life. If the recipient radiation therapy during and after treatment two months, the daily douching persist, Meanwhile, applied a little aureomycin cod liver oil, can prevent serious vaginal adhesions. This shows that the treatment of cervical cancer patients have no need to fear life or loss of confidence. After treatment, in three months, the resumption of normal physical, and the doctors have confirmed the full control of cancer, can gradually return to normal life, the restoration of the early sex life, and some patients prone pain, or decreased resistance to vaginal epithelium, prone to injury and infection, increased vaginal secretions, and vaginal bleeding.

After treatment of the patients and her husband both sides should pay special attention to maintaining health and sexual life is a pattern of modest life. Husband to give more understanding and caressing, to achieve the harmony and common fight against cancer create a "second honeymoon."
