Can I get pregnant after gastric cancer surgery

The incidence of gastric cancer is now higher, and now gastric cancer affects everyone regardless of age and gender, and the scope of disease is also wider. Young women in particular will suffer more after getting gastric cancer because they have to face the fact of pregnancy. So, is it possible to get pregnant after gastric cancer surgery?

Generally speaking, patients with gastric cancer should not get pregnant before they are fully recovered. Pregnancy will affect the patient's nutrition and physical strength. If the patient still needs intermittent maintenance treatment, most of the drugs are cytotoxic drugs that are toxic to the fetus, which can cause fetal malformation, miscarriage, and premature birth. If pregnant, the pregnancy should be terminated as soon as possible. Clinical data have shown that pregnancy can promote the recurrence and metastasis of gastric cancer, and also bring many difficulties to treatment, affecting the efficacy.
If stomach cancer is discovered during pregnancy, the pregnancy should be terminated quickly to protect the pregnant woman and the stomach cancer should be treated early. If delivery is imminent, induced labor or caesarean section can be performed, and then the stomach cancer can be treated.
To sum up, women with gastric cancer cannot become pregnant, because gastric cancer itself is a very serious disease. Not only do pregnant women have low resistance, but it is also easy for gastric cancer to worsen and become more serious, posing a serious threat to women's life safety. Therefore, the treatment of gastric cancer should be the main focus.
