Cancer treatment

Side Effects of Cancer Treatments

Every two minutes someone in the UK is diagnosed with cancer.

Whether from personal experience or through a friend or relative, many of us know the brutal side effects of chemotherapy and radiotherapy. These commonly include hair loss, nausea, constipation and diarrhoea, but another side effect of cancer treatments is vaginal dryness, as the chemicals play havoc with your body’s natural hydration and pH balance.

For more severe symptoms and side effects during cancer treatment, prescription dilators can be required to maintain your delicate vaginal area. Sylk’s natural lubrication helps insertion with confidence and no ‘ouch-factor’.

Gentle & natural relief

Sylk is recommended by oncologists and Macmillan nurses. Its unique paraben, chemical and hormone free formula is balanced to your vagina’s natural pH, so can be used safely and with confidence to give effective and gentle relief from dryness, as well as help ease the insertion of dilators.

Sylk is recommended by Health Professionals including:
