How does cervix radiation affect sexual life in women?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Radiation therapy leads to a lot of sexual adverse effects and poor quality of life. It will lead to loss of ovarian function, leading to infertility, loss of sexual drive, decreased stamina, etc. Also, radiation may affect the length or caliber of the vagina and decrease vaginal lubrication and elasticity, and can adversely affect sexual function.

However, some of the side effects will alleviate with time and hormonal replacement therapy. For fertility preservation, there are options available. So overall, radiation has a significantly higher incidence of sexual dysfunction as compared to surgery or chemotherapy.

Higher incidence of pelvic pain and pain during sex. Also, there will be a higher incidence of bowel dysfunction and a higher incidence of urinary incontinence.

I hope this helps.

Thank you.

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

The decrease in the level of hormones leads to decreased libido and decreased attraction. While other men's attraction will also change because you will not enjoy sex that much, and may not be able to provide what others want. It may be painful sex, there may be a change in vaginal length and lubrication, so all this will certainly decrease others' enjoyment too. It will decrease your desire and stamina.

And yes, testosterone therapy, along with other hormones, helps in the restoration of attraction and sexual desire to some extent, but not complete resolution. Also, pain during sex and lubrication problems, to some extent, will be taken care of by these hormones.

I hope this helps.

Thank you.
