Hello XXXXXXX
Thanks for writing to HCM
There is no restriction of sex prior to MRI scan.It will not affect the findings.
You are rightly advised for MRI Scan.It is the investigation of choice for pelvic pathology and it is best for soft tissue imaging.
MRI can detect the extent of spread of cancerous zone to surrounding structures.
MRI findings will not be not affected by sex at all,so you don't worry and go for MRI scan.
Get well soon.
Hope I have answered your question.
Further queries are most welcome.
