Can you have intercourse if you have breast cancer?

It is possible to have intercourse after having breast cancer. Generally speaking, breast cancer has a relatively good curative effect, with an overall survival rate of about 80% in 5 years. The overall survival rate is about 80%. After surgery, if the patient is actively followed up and treated, the overall survival is still very good. The wound will heal completely in about one month after surgery, and you can usually have intercourse during this time. If the patient has subcutaneous fluid, infection or necrosis of the skin flap, the time of intercourse should be extended appropriately until the wound is completely healed. If the patient is during chemotherapy or has a heavy reaction to chemotherapy, such as nausea, vomiting and loss of appetite, it is not recommended to have intercourse during this period. You should wait until the chemotherapy drugs are completely metabolized and the patient’s body is back to normal.
