Today we have reached the stage that rarely there should be an unplanned pregnancy because there are so many different methods available to control pregnancy. There are many different types of contraception methods available out of which you will be able to find the right method for you. Hormonal contraception is the most popular form of birth control. Here there are some common questions which are related to oral contraceptive pill use and its effect on health.
Does it affect fertility?
With modern low dose pills, after you stop taking the pill, you may have only two-week delay before you ovulate again. Generally, normal period would follow about four to six weeks after you take the last pill. Once ovulation resumes, you can become pregnant. Age can be a factor that affects the fertility.
Does it cause cancer?
This is not true. In fact, according to research, it has been found that the use of pill significantly reduces the risk of cancer in reproductive organs such as cancer of uterus and ovary. The research findings had indicated that use of oral contraceptives did not significantly increase the risk of breast cancer. Other scientific research findings revealed that the risk of ovarian cancer actually decreases by 10-12% after a year of pill use, and about 50% decrease after five years of use.
