Can I get pregnant during chemotherapy for colorectal cancer

What are the symptoms of patients with advanced colorectal cancer? For every woman, being a mother is a happy thing. During the hospital's consultation process, many female patients with colorectal cancer ask the doctor, can they get pregnant now? In fact, as a doctor, I can fully understand their feelings. Who doesn't want to have a healthy and lovely baby? Today, we will analyze in detail the question of whether patients with colorectal cancer can still get pregnant.

For the special group of people with colorectal cancer, they should not only consider their own condition, but also the health of the fetus in their belly at all times, especially in the early stages of pregnancy when the mother's virus infection is most likely to affect the fetus and is easily inherited by the next generation. It is recommended that colorectal cancer patients should concentrate on colorectal cancer treatment to stabilize their condition and live well. Surgery, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy are currently the "three axes" of conventional treatment for colorectal cancer, but during the treatment process, significant side effects are likely to occur. Traditional Chinese medicine has a significant effect in reducing the toxic and side effects of these "three axes", which can greatly increase the patient's survival period and quality of life, and improve the patient's diet and sleep conditions.

However, pregnancy also poses great risks to colorectal cancer patients because, as the pregnancy period lengthens, the mother's nutrition will not only nourish the baby, but also provide nutrition to cancer cells, causing the cancerous site to grow rapidly. In addition, pregnancy will aggravate the symptoms of colorectal cancer, causing patients to miss early treatment or causing treatment to be blocked. This is because changes in human hormone secretion during pregnancy will stimulate and promote colorectal cancer. Childbirth and breastfeeding may also cause colorectal cancer cells to spread and metastasize, further threatening the patient's life.

Traditional Chinese medicine plays a very important role in the treatment of colorectal cancer. On the one hand, Chinese medicine can be used in combination with surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy and other treatment methods, which can not only significantly improve the comprehensive treatment effect; but also significantly reduce the side effects of surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, etc. On the other hand, Chinese medicine can also be used alone for conservative treatment of patients who cannot undergo surgery, radiotherapy or chemotherapy or are unwilling to undergo radiotherapy. Long-term use can significantly improve the patient's symptoms, improve survival treatment, prolong the patient's life, and achieve the goal of long-term "survival with tumor".

Moreover, traditional Chinese medicine treatment of colorectal cancer has a wide range of patients and can be used for almost all patients, especially for those in the late stage with poor physical condition, low immune function, elderly patients, and patients with serious complications. It fills the gap in the treatment of such patients in the late stage, alleviates the patients' pain, and has good results.

Warm reminder: The fact that you cannot have children at present may be cruel to female friends with colorectal cancer, but the starting point is also for the health of you and your child. The best way at present is to actively cooperate with the doctor's treatment, maintain an optimistic attitude towards life, and consider having children after meeting the conditions for fertility. Don't act on your own, the result may not be good for you and your child.
