Women at a young age diagnosed with cancer can have a high risk of not being able to conceive a child after the treatment. Treatments like chemotherapy and radiation therapy affect the fertility of women.
Chemotherapy affects the functioning of the ovaries by reducing the number or quality of the eggs. Infertility, in this case, depends on the drugs that are used during the treatment.
If the radiation is delivered directly to the pelvic area, there are high chances that it can lead to permanent infertility.
