Taking birth control pills does not cause ovarian cancer

Miss Song has been married to her husband for more than six months. Because they wanted to enjoy their time together, after gaining the understanding of their parents on both sides, they decided to have fun for two or three years and not have children for the time being, so they chose oral contraceptives.

At a gathering with friends, Miss Song heard that oral contraceptives contain a lot of hormones, which will affect women's endocrine system. The main function of the ovaries is to regulate women's endocrine system. Oral contraceptives may cause ovarian cancer.

Worried about the possibility of a real problem, Miss Song immediately stopped taking birth control pills and then went to the hospital to consult a doctor. The doctor told Miss Song that over the years, oral contraceptives have been adjusted and improved many times in terms of dosage and compatibility. The current type of drugs used have less than 1/4 of the original content of active ingredients. Under the premise of ensuring its contraceptive effect, its side effects and effects on human metabolism have been significantly reduced. A lot of research has been done at home and abroad on the relationship between birth control pills and tumor occurrence. Although the research results are not completely consistent, the vast majority of studies have shown that as long as they are not in the high-risk group for estrogen-dependent tumors, the incidence of these tumors does not tend to increase after taking oral contraceptives. On the contrary, some studies have even found that oral contraceptives have a certain inhibitory effect on the occurrence of certain malignant tumors, such as endometrial cancer and ovarian cancer.

But the doctor also reminded Miss Song that birth control pills are not common and should not be taken casually!
