A member asked:
How can i enjoy sex after cancer treatment if i can't have penetrative intercourse?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Incomplete info: From the information provided, it is not feasible to know why you cannot have penetrative intercourse. Sexual satisfaction may be possible even if penetration is not practical. To provide a more meaningful suggestion, one would need to address specific issues through physical examination and discussion. Please raise the issue with your doctor.
