Can patients with prostate cancer have kids?

Answer 1

Yes, he would be able to have children unless he had something removed. If he wasn't able to have children through intercourse then he would be able to produce children through artificial insemination.

Answer 2

Hello,

It depends upon the treatment.

Any treatment which removes or destroys the prostate will eliminate the production of semen which is one of the prostate's functions. Semen is essentially the delivery mode for the sperm. If semen is not available there not be any ejaculate. Essentially, the conduits for sperm to travel from the testicles to the urethra in the penis are eliminated.

Three treatments for prostate cancer do preserve the prostate. Brachytherapy is a minimally invasive procedure where the doctor implants tiny permanent radioactive seeds into the prostate where they irradiate the cancer from inside the gland. The other treatment is radiation. which delivers radiation beams at very specific dosages and locations. GPS is even used to assist in directing the radiation beams. Additionally, chemotherapy is available. I believe each of these preserve the function of the prostate as far as production of semen.

There are several excellent web sites that discuss each of the therapies currently in use. One good place to start is WebMD. Just Google a key word and you'll find lots of info.

Hope this was of help

Answer 3

no hahahahaha lol.

If the treatment included removal of the prostate, then yes a man can have a baby via IVF, where sperm are taken from the man and implanted in a woman. If treatment included radiation, then it depends if the radiation went into the scrotum and impacted the sperm.

Answer 4

Yes, a man can still father a child after prostate removal.

While removal of the prostate prevents a man from conceiving naturally through intercourse, the male body still produces sperm.

To conceive, a doctor will remove sperm from the male and implant in the woman's uterus, or through IVF, where the doctor takes the sperm and egg, fertilizes the egg and implants the embryo into the woman.

Answer 5

Yes it is possible to have children after cancer treatment. It will all depend on the individual in question.

Answer 6

Some prostate cancers are detected early and may not need radiation treatment. If this is not the case and the male is subjected to radiation treatment this will render them impotent.

Answer 7

Yes, unless there was something removed.
