Many women with cervical cancer can maintain intimate relationships, though each situation is unique depending on treatment stage and individual health factors. This is definitely a conversation worth having with your healthcare team, as they can provide personalized guidance based on your specific circumstances and help address any concerns about comfort and safety.

Hi. I had cervical cancer, I completed treatment in February of this year. Me and my boyfriend had sex everyday except while I was having the internal radiation treatment. You can have sex with cervical cancer but at times it was very uncomfortable so we stopped or with me, I felt undesirable but my bf helped me with my mental struggles and told me I was beautiful and he wanted me no matter what. Just remember, “YOUR CANCER DOES NOT DEFINE YOU!”
