This pill has many perks besides pregnancy prevention; it reduce menstrual cramps, lighten periods, and lower your risk of ectopic pregnancy and it helps with acne, bone thinning cysts in your breast and ovaries, endometrial and ovarian cancers and more; but the effects are not always good, this pills have possible short-term side effects such as bleeding between periods, or spotting, headaches, nausea, breast tenderness and weight gain.
The hormones in birth control, including progesterone and estrogen, may stimulate the growth of some types of cancer cells and reduce the risk of others developing.
The American Cancer Society (ACS) says that people who have taken birth control pills are slightly more likely to develop breast cancer than those who have never used them. However, this risk goes away when people have been off the pill for 10 or more years.
If you want to prevent pregnancy, you must have to schedule a medical appointment with the gynecologist for him to give you a specific and personal treatment, to prevent negative long-term effects.
