Menopause and Cancer
It is possible that some cancer treatments can actually bring on Menopause. Dealing with cancer is a tough experience as it is, treatment can take a big toll on your general health and energy levels. As well as having to cope with cancer, women may also experience certain menopause symptoms including hot flashes and mood swings. Some women may feel too young to also lose their fertility which is a huge risk with chemotherapy as these drugs are in fact toxic to the ovaries. Hysterectomy due to treating cancer will cause menopause and its symptoms including lack of sexual desire.
