Fertility Preservation: Know Your Options Before Cancer Treatment

Cancer treatments can significantly impact fertility. Understanding your preservation options early can empower you to make informed decisions tailored to your future family goals.

How Cancer Treatment Affects Fertility

The type of cancer, treatment plan, and your age can all affect fertility—sometimes permanently. Here’s how common treatments may impact reproductive health:

• Surgery: Removal of reproductive organs (e.g., testicles, ovaries, uterus) can directly impair fertility.
• Chemotherapy: Especially drugs like alkylating agents or cisplatin, can damage reproductive cells.
• Radiation Therapy: High doses to the pelvic area can destroy eggs or reduce sperm production.
• Hormone Therapy: Often used for breast cancer; may temporarily reduce fertility, but effects may reverse after treatment ends.

When to Speak with a Fertility Specialist

Timing is everything. Speak with your oncologist and a fertility expert before starting treatment. Some preservation methods need to align with your menstrual cycle or require coordination with your oncology team. At The Care Clinic, we offer expedited appointments so your cancer treatment stays on track without compromising future options.

Will Fertility Preservation Affect My Cancer Treatment?

Most fertility preservation methods do not impact the success of cancer therapy. However, the procedures may cause brief delays, so working closely with your medical team is vital. Our team at The Care Clinic coordinates directly with your oncology providers to ensure optimal timing and safety.

Is It Safe to Have Children After Cancer?

Current research shows no significant increase in birth defects or health issues for children conceived after treatment—provided cancer therapies are not active during pregnancy. If your treatment affects organs like the heart or lungs, consult with a maternal-fetal medicine specialist when planning a pregnancy.
