Sexuality is very important to everyday life.
Patients receiving chemotherapy can continue sexual relations with their partners during and after treatment. There may be specific recommendations which need to be followed based on your specific case. Do not be afraid to discuss issues regarding sex and sexuality with your doctor or other health care provider. Chemotherapy can either temporarily or permanently alter sexual and reproductive function. These alterations can include temporary or permanent sterility, irregularity or cessation of menses, alterations in libido and fetal development.
