For colorectal cancer, we must pay attention to scientific treatment and care so that the disease can be relieved and cured earlier.

So can patients with colorectal cancer get pregnant?

Most young women with colorectal cancer want to be mothers, but they should not get pregnant before they are cured. Pregnancy will affect the nutrition and physical strength of the patient. If the patient still needs intermittent maintenance treatment, chemotherapy drugs will have cytotoxic effects on the fetus, causing fetal malformation, miscarriage, and premature birth.

If it has been more than 5 years since the colorectal cancer surgery , and no recurrence or metastasis has been found through various examinations, and the patient has a strong desire to have children, whether or not to get pregnant should be decided by oncology and gynecology experts after consultation. If it does not affect the patient's health and the patient is able to have children, then pregnancy can be considered. However, it is generally better not to get pregnant, so as to avoid disrupting the balance of the endocrine system in the body and disturbing the patient's health.
