Macmillan - Sex and Cancer
Cancer and cancer treatment can affect many areas of sexual well-being.
They may cause changes that are:
- physical – you may have side effects or symptoms that change how your body works or looks
- emotional – you may be dealing with stress, worry or other difficult feelings
- practical – your usual routines or roles may change.
These areas are often linked. If there is a change in one area, it may affect another. Many changes caused by cancer treatment are temporary and usually get better after treatment.
Shine Cancer Support
Shine is the only UK charity that support adults in their 20s, 30s and 40s who have experienced a cancer diagnosis.
There is never a good time to have cancer, but we know that younger adults face different issues than their older or younger counterparts. Many of these are not dealt with by traditional cancer support charities and services.
Cancer treatment can make changes to your physical and emotional self, which can have a negative impact on your body image, physical ability to give and receive pleasure, erectile difficulties or sexual pain, or desire or energy to have sex. This can be distressing and embarrassing, and may cause problems whether you’re in a long-term relationship or not.
