Fertility and chemotherapy

Chemotherapy can stop your ovaries from working. This causes infertility, which can be temporary or permanent. It can also bring on the menopause.

Some chemotherapy drugs can affect a man’s fertility. Talk to your doctor about your risk of infertility. They can tell you more about the possibility of storing sperm.

It can be very difficult to learn that chemotherapy has affected your ability to have children (fertility). You can get support to help you cope.
