Can you live together with cervical cancer?



Cervical cancer is allowed to cohabit when the condition permits, but cohabitation is not recommended during the treatment of the disease or when the condition is unstable, consult the attending doctor for details.

Cervical cancer is associated with HPV (human papillomavirus) infection after sexual intercourse, but it does not affect sexual life. There are many precautions to be taken with sex for a diagnosis of cervical cancer.

If the cervical cancer has not been operated yet, it is not recommended to have sex because the lesion of cervical cancer is brittle and rich in blood supply, and sex will easily lead to bleeding, even a lot of bleeding. If cervical cancer is treated by radiotherapy, during the treatment, the vagina is congested, edematous and brittle, sexual life is also not recommended.

If cervical cancer is treated by surgery, the stump of the vagina in March after surgery usually heals well, and sexual life can be considered to be resumed, but because the surgery will remove the uterus, cervix and part of the vagina, resulting in insufficient length of the vagina, which may affect the satisfaction of sexual life.

If radiotherapy is added after the surgery, it may lead to narrowing of the vagina, which may result in pain or even difficulty in sexual intercourse.

When suffering from cervical cancer, you need to actively seek medical advice and follow the doctor’s instructions for reasonable treatment.
