Hormones After Cancer: What You Should Know

Understanding changes to your hormonal health—and how to support recovery

Cancer treatment can save lives—but it can also profoundly impact your hormones. Whether you’re in recovery, managing long-term effects, or navigating hormone-related symptoms for the first time, you’re not alone—and you’re not imagining it.

🔄 Why Hormones Change After Cancer

Treatments like chemotherapy, radiation, and surgery can disrupt hormone production, metabolism, and signaling. These effects are especially common in cancers related to:

• Breast or ovarian cancer

• Prostate or testicular cancer

• Thyroid cancer

• Any cancer treated with systemic therapies like chemo or immunotherapy

You may experience hormonal changes if your ovaries, testes, thyroid, or adrenal glands are affected—or if treatment alters how your body clears or processes hormones.

🧠 With

• Fatigue, low mood, or anxiety

• Hot flashes or night sweats

• Weight changes or muscle loss

• Low libido or sexual discomfort

• Brain fog or poor memory

• Insomnia or unrefreshing sleep

These changes can occur months or even years after treatment, and they’re often under-recognized.
