Can a prostate cancer survivor father baby?

Yes, a prostate cancer survivor can father a baby.

Prostate cancer is a type of cancer that affects the prostate gland, a small gland in men that produces semen. Prostate cancer does not typically affect a man's ability to have an erection or ejaculate. However, some treatments for prostate cancer, such as surgery or radiation therapy, can damage the nerves or tissues that are involved in sexual function. This can lead to erectile dysfunction or problems with ejaculation.

If a man has prostate cancer and is concerned about his ability to have children, he should talk to his doctor. There are a number of treatments that can help to preserve fertility, such as sperm banking or testicular sperm extraction. These treatments can allow men to father children even after they have been treated for prostate cancer.
