How fast does cervical cancer grow?

Yes, it is possible to have children after cervical cancer treatment. In fact, the majority of women who had cervical cancer and underwent treatments can still become pregnant.

However, there are some factors that might affect your ability to conceive. For example, if radiation therapy was used for treatment and targeted around the reproductive organs it may lead to infertility or miscarriage in some cases. Therefore it is important to discuss with your doctor what effects treatments might have on fertility before starting them.

Research has also shown that certain drugs used during chemotherapy such as bleomycin can damage fertility and cause sterility in men and women. It’s also important to consider age because women over the age of 35 will start having a decreased chance of successful pregnancy regardless of their history with cancer.

Currently there are numerous options available for those looking into becoming pregnant post-treatment such as egg freezing or ovary transplantation which may help increase chances of conception when needed (pregnancy rates are significantly higher after smooth recovery). Additionally in vitro fertilisation techniques provide another way for couples wishing to conceive despite a medical issue like cervical cancer or side effects from treatment thereof. A thorough discussion between you and your health care provider should be done before making any decisions about becoming pregnant after cervical cancer diagnosis/treatment so potential risks can be evaluated properly by specialist(s).
