Will colon cancer affect pregnancy?

Colorectal cancer is a malignant tumor of the digestive tract that seriously affects the patient's physical and mental health. Colorectal cancer patients often have no obvious symptoms in the early stages and only feel mild digestive tract discomfort, so they often neglect treatment. So will colorectal cancer affect pregnancy? This issue has always been a concern for female patients. Let's invite experts to give you a detailed introduction.

Currently, many women wait until they are very old before considering pregnancy, and the incidence of cancer increases with age. You can consider pregnancy six months after recovery and three months after stopping medication. Do a good pre-pregnancy check-up.
If it has been more than 5 years since the colorectal cancer surgery, and no recurrence or metastasis has been found through various examinations, and the patient has a strong desire to have children, whether she can get pregnant should be decided by oncology and gynecology experts after consultation. If it does not affect her health and she is able to get pregnant, she can consider getting pregnant. However, it is generally better not to get pregnant to avoid disrupting the balance of the endocrine system in the body and disturbing the patient's health.
Most young female colorectal cancer patients hope to become mothers, but colorectal cancer patients should not get pregnant before they are cured. Pregnancy will affect the patient's nutrition and physical strength. If the patient still needs intermittent maintenance treatment, chemotherapy drugs will have cytotoxic effects on the fetus, causing fetal malformation, miscarriage, and premature birth.
