Everyone has a sexual desire and should be satisfied. Many people suspect that if they have cancer, can they still have sex? Does having sex after cancer have a serious impact on health? Will it affect the treatment and recovery of cancer? In fact, cancer patients can also have sex, and regular sexual activity can also be very helpful for cancer recovery, but there are many precautions to follow.
Can I still have sex after suffering from cancer?
After suffering from cancer, it is possible to engage in a certain amount of sexual activity. Research has shown that during the recovery period after cancer treatment, patients with sexual activity have a much lower recurrence rate than those without sexual activity. Moreover, the recovery of cancer is not only related to treatment and medical technology, but also to the patient's mood and survival fighting spirit. Sexual activity between couples can help patients improve their survival fighting spirit and make their lives enjoyable, which is very helpful for the recovery of the disease.
What are the precautions for cancer patients during sexual activity?
1. Sexual activity depends on the patient's condition
Cancer patients can have sex, but the decision to have sex depends on the patient's condition. If the patient's recovery is good, their physical strength can keep up, their energy is full, and they can have sex. If the patient is physically weak, sexual activity should be prohibited to prevent the patient from becoming even weaker, thereby exacerbating the condition.
2. It is best not to engage in sexual activity during cancer treatment
During the treatment period, during surgery or chemotherapy, cancer patients need to suspend sexual activity due to their extreme physical weakness. During the rehabilitation treatment period after discharge, regular and appropriate sexual activity should be carried out to reduce the probability of recurrence.
3. Don't pay too much attention to sexual performance
Cancer patients, after all, have physical illnesses, and even if they perform poorly during sexual activity, they should be considerate. Patients themselves do not need to have too much mental pressure. If they are too concerned about their sexual abilities and lead to depression, it is actually not conducive to the recovery of cancer. As the other half of cancer patients, we should also understand and encourage each other in this matter, making them feel happy and full of hope.
Most patients with chronic diseases can fully engage in appropriate sexual activity if conditions permit, and appropriate sexual activity can also help with the recovery of the condition. In principle, we should follow the guidance of doctors and systematically evaluate our physical condition. Only after the assessment has passed appropriate sexual activity can it be conducted. Pay attention to the patient's physical condition, and everything should be based on the patient's body. Moderate sexual activity can enhance the patient's will to survive and is very helpful for the recovery of cancer.
