According to a study, women's risk of breast cancer increases by 50 percent as a result of taking birth control pills or birth control drugs. A US research team conducted an examination of 1,100 cancer patients, who have taken or are currently taking the birth control pill (Birth control pill), in which more than 50 percent of women are at risk of breast cancer.
Experts say, no symptoms of breast cancer (Breast cancer) are observed or there is no risk of occurrence for 10 years after stopping the birth control pill. However, they have found evidence that the risk in this case is lower if the estrogen level is consumed in a low amount.
Researchers at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in the United States also found out that breast cancer is usually very rare, but because women use different types of birth control pills, especially women who use birth control pills more. , their risk of breast cancer is much higher. That is why it is very important to be careful about the dosage of birth control pills and different types of birth control formulations.

However, researchers say, they still do not know how low the risk of breast cancer (Breast cancer) is reduced or if the probability remains the same! According to them, more research is needed in this regard.
According to doctors, usually women below 40 years of age are not at risk of breast cancer. Whether he takes the pill or not. However, new research shows that the risk of breast cancer increases by 50 percent as a result of taking estrogen birth control combined pills.
