Whether oral contraceptives are carcinogenic or anti-cancer, the medical community has expressed a lot of controversy about the use of this issue. A study in the UK that lasted nearly 40 years examined the relationship between the use of contraceptives and the incidence of cancer. It was found that contraceptives did help prevent cancer for a long time.
According to the British "Times" recently reported that since the advent of oral contraceptives in 1961, there have been hundreds of studies on its safety. The study, conducted by the University of Aberdeen in the United Kingdom, analyzed the medical records of 46,000 women preserved by the Royal College of Physicians, the largest such study to date. The average age of women examined in the study was 29 years old, half of whom had never taken birth control pills and the other half had taken the drug, with an average medication period of 44 months. The medical record was provided by 1,400 doctors, which lasted from 1968 to 2004.
According to the report, women who took birth control pills for less than 8 years had a 12% lower risk of developing cancer, and the incidence of major gynecological cancers such as bowel cancer, rectal cancer, and uterine cancer has fallen sharply, and the risk of ovarian cancer has even decreased. 29%. In the case of breast cancer alone, there is no indication that short-term use of birth control pills will increase or decrease their incidence.
According to the report, most women start taking birth control pills around the age of 20 and stop taking them when they are nearly 30 years old. The protective effect of contraceptives is especially evident after 15 years or even longer. Most of the ages are around 50 years old, which is the high incidence of cancer in women.
However, it is worth noting that if women take more than 8 years, the contraceptives will go in the opposite direction of carcinogenesis. Studies have shown that a quarter of women in the study are long-term users of more than 8 years, and their risk of developing various cancers is 22% higher than that of unmedicated patients. The authors said: "Many women, especially those who used contraceptives many years ago, will be reassured by our conclusions. The positive effects of oral contraceptives on cancer prevention outweigh the risk of cancer." According to statistics, there are currently 100 million women using oral contraceptives every year in the world, including about 3.5 million in the UK. But the head of the study, Aberdeen University professor Philip Hannah Fuld also warned that he does not recommend that women simply take the pill for the purpose of reducing the risk of cancer, he said: "If you recommend everyone to take Contraceptives, this is too rash." - Meditech Medical Network
