Cancer and its treatments can sometimes affect a woman’s chance of having children. This happens because the treatment may change your hormones or affect important organs like your ovaries or uterus. But here’s something many women don’t know—you still have options.
With the right support and advice from experts like Dr. Divya Sehra, you can protect your fertility before treatment and even work on restoring it afterward. Becoming a mother after cancer is possible, and this guide will help you understand how cancer can affect your fertility and what steps you can take to keep your dreams alive.
How Cancer Treatment Affects Fertility
Cancer treatments can affect your ability to get pregnant—right away or later in life.
Some common effects include:
- Higher risk of infertility or early menopause
- Trouble conceiving naturally
- Pregnancy complications or concerns for your baby’s health
These effects can depend on:
- Type and stage of your cancer
- Chemotherapy drugs used
- Radiation dosage and target area
- Whether reproductive organs were affected by surgery
Even if you didn’t freeze your eggs before treatment, don’t lose hope. Dr. Divya Sehra offers trusted, safe options to help you build your family after recovery.
Fertility Preservation Options
If you haven’t started treatment yet, this is the best time to plan.
At Dr. Divya Sehra’s clinics in Delhi and Gurugram, women can explore:
- Egg Freezing – Collect and store your eggs for future use
- Embryo Freezing – Fertilize eggs before freezing
- Ovarian Suppression Therapy – Medication to help protect the ovaries during chemotherapy
- Ovarian Tissue Freezing – An experimental option, often used in younger patients
Starting early gives you more flexibility and better chances of success.
Planning a Family After Treatment
If fertility preservation wasn’t done before treatment, there are still many ways to build a family:
- IUI (Intrauterine Insemination) – Sperm is inserted into the uterus
- IVF (In Vitro Fertilization) – Eggs and sperm are combined outside the body
- Donor Eggs – Used when your own eggs are no longer viable
- Surrogacy – When pregnancy is not a safe or viable option
- Adoption – A beautiful and fulfilling way to become a parent
Throughout this process, Dr. Divya Sehra and her team provide compassionate, expert support.
Fertility is Emotional
This is more than just a medical journey. It’s personal and emotional.
Fertility challenges after cancer can bring up grief, stress, or uncertainty.
That’s why Dr. Divya Sehra offers a holistic approach that includes:
- Mental health support
- Tools for partner communication
- Self-care strategies tailored to your experience
You are not alone—and you don’t have to carry it all by yourself.
