A member asked:

Is it possible that cancer causes loss of period?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Depends: There are a lot of types of cancers so this is a hard question to answer. Chemotherapy can sometimes cause premature menopause. Discuss with your surgeon and/or oncologist and consider seeing a fertility specialist prior to treatment depending on the risks and benefits discussed.
