| I was on the pill for about 8 years before I decided to go drug free and used a few different kinds within that period. Each pill type that I took came with an instruction pamphlet which outlined all the possible side effects. Breast cancer was ALWAYS listed as a possible side effect and it's occurrence increased if you were a smoker or had cases of breast cancer in the family. Women who suffer from blod clots are also warned not to take the pill. The pill does however, reduce the risk of ovarian and cervical cancer if taken for a few years. It can also help those with polycystic ovaries syndrome/disorder as this will enable regular menstruation and thus, will reduce the chance of ovarian cancer, which is more likely to occur if you have sporadic menstruation or amenorrhea. If breast cancer, blood clotting or strokes run in the family, then it's probably best to use an alternative method of birth control and if you're a smoker, you should definitely avoid the pill. So, you really have to evaluate the pros and cons. Just like any other type of drug there are always positives and negatives. Each of us has to make the best decision we can for ourselves. There is no right or wrong choice here. |
