Can You Have Sex During Chemo? Doctors Weigh In

If you're getting chemotherapy for cancer, you might wonder if you can still have sex.

The answer is usually yes, but you need to be careful.

Talk to your doctor first.

Chemotherapy can make you tired, affect your mood, and lower your interest in sex.

Use condoms because the drugs can be in your body fluids for a while.

Avoid getting pregnant during chemo because it could hurt the baby.

Be open with your partner about how you feel.

Sometimes, you might need to use lubricants if things feel dry.

Remember, it's important to be safe and take care of yourselves.
