Pelvic radiotherapy in women

This section gives information about pelvic care during and after radiotherapy treatment. This information is for women. CancerBACUP has a separate section for men who are having pelvic radiotherapy.

The main side effects are described so that you can be aware of them, but it is unlikely that you will be affected by all of those listed. It may help to read this section alongside CancerBACUP’s information about your type of cancer and about radiotherapy.
