ɳ Summary and Conclusion
If a patient needs medical treatment that will interfere with his mar-
ital relations the physician should not withhold the treatment [but if
they have not yet fulfilled the mitzvah of procreation, it is forbidden.]
However, if the husband is healthy and wants the treatment in order
to prevent him from sinning, the physician should not assist him if
his wife will be deprived as a result.
