Around 13,000 people in the UK have pelvic radiotherapy for cancer each year. This section gives information about the possible long-term side effects of pelvic radiotherapy in men. We have a separate section for women who have had pelvic radiotherapy.
It is important to be aware that you will not get all of the long-term side effects mentioned here. Many people only have mild, short-term side effects. It may help to read this section alongside information about your particular type of cancer and about radiotherapy.
Detailed information about the effect of radiotherapy on the testes is in our health professional section.
