Boyfriend Has Sores On Penis After Sex. I Am Undergoing Chemo For Breast Cancer. Related?
I have had 3 chemo treatments for breast cancer. My boyfriend just told me that after intercourse he has sores on his penis. We have been together 5 years and never had this before. He does not have the sores any other time - just right after intercourse since I started treatment.
Is there a correlation or a causation between the sores and the chemo chemicals? Could he be having a reaction to the vaginal secretions that may contain the chemo chemicals?

Hi,
This is a new problem you have mentioned. Generally chemo has got no relation to this sort of penile sores. Your boyfriend should be examined by an experienced surgeon to look for any definite mucosal changes on the penis. Very often viral infection may be the cause most often can be diagnosed clinically. Have a surgeon's opinion.
