THE THREAD OF WOMEN'S HEALTH

I'm 26 years old and I'm getting worried that it will give me breast cancer.

This is another misconception that needs to be dispelled! The combined pill does not cause breast cancer, especially the low-dose pills that exist today. The pill can actually protect against some cancers, such as ovarian and colon cancer, and can even maintain this protection for several years after stopping. If you want to be even more reassured, ask your gynecologist to show you the results of some of the largest studies so you can check for yourself.
