  • Radiation Shielding: In this procedure, you can cover the sensitive area with a small shield to protect reproductive organs.

  • Ovarian Transposition: in this procedure, ovaries are relocated within the pelvis to make them avoid the radiation field. Shielding during radiation treatment always does not provide protection and hence repositioning of ovaries is a better way to conceive later.
