Does cervical cancer affect sex life?

Does cervical cancer affect sex life? Many cervical cancer patients will quietly ask their doctors this question when they are receiving treatment. Here we can clearly tell you that cervical cancer patients can have sex after treatment, but because the treatment of cervical cancer will affect the patient's sexual feelings, many problems may arise. Regarding this issue, the following article will introduce it in detail, hoping to help everyone.

Changes in self-assessed scores of cancer patients at 12 months after surgery all confirmed that cervical cancer had an adverse effect on sexual compatibility, and that lack of sexual interest and lubrication persisted for two years after hysterectomy. Thus, the study suggests that hysterectomy has a persistent negative impact on sexual interest and vaginal lubrication, but other sexual and vaginal problems disappear over time.
After hysterectomy for cervical cancer, both men and women are actually worried about sex life. Many people have a wrong idea: "After hysterectomy for cervical cancer, it will be difficult for couples to have a happy and smooth sex life again." After hysterectomy for cervical cancer, you can have sex, but it may affect women's sexual interest. A study on patients with early cervical cancer showed that although any other sexual or uterine problems will gradually disappear over time, hysterectomy for cervical cancer still seems to hinder patients' sexual interest and vaginal lubrication.
Within 6 months after hysterectomy for cervical cancer, patients with cervical cancer have severe orgasm problems and uncomfortable sexual intercourse. These problems include difficulty in orgasm, discomfort in sexual intercourse, unsatisfactory sexual desire, pain during sexual intercourse due to reduced vaginal size, difficulty completing sexual intercourse, inability to relax during the resolution period, and unsatisfactory performance.
Doctors usually tell the family members of cervical cancer patients that they can have sex after the uterus is removed because the vagina where sexual intercourse takes place is not removed. However, the quality of sex life will be greatly reduced due to the treatment of cervical cancer, so patients need to understand this point in order to correctly understand this issue.
The above content is an introduction to whether people with cervical cancer can have sexual intercourse. I believe that after the above introduction, everyone has a very clear understanding of this issue. Since most cervical cancer patients are around 50 years old, the onset of cervical cancer will not actually have this impact on the patient's life. Such patients can live a normal life without a cervix. I hope the above introduction is helpful to everyone.
