THE EFFECT OF CHEMOTHERAPY ON A WOMAN'S FERTILITY

“Current estimates of the impact of chemotherapy on women’s reproductive health are too low   according to a recent study conducted by the University of California, San Francisco. The Researchers  say that their analysis of the age-specific, long term effects of chemotherapy, provides new insights which will help patients and clinicians make more informed decisions about future reproductive options, such as egg harvesting."
According to this study, previous studies seem to have only focussed on the lack of menstruation after chemotherapy(amenorrhea), as the primary reproductive side effect of chemotherapy, when other issues such as early menopause (menopause before age 45) and a host of damage to a woman’s ovaries, leading to infertility can also result.
Many women have been told that as long as their periods return after chemotherapy they would have no negative impact.
