A new study has found
A new study has found that all forms of contraception, including those that only have progesterone, increase your risk of breast cancer by 25%. That's scary, but the actual increase is tiny. When you are 20, your risk is already small - 1 in 1000 women. Breast cancer is mainly a disease of older women - when you are 90, your risk of getting it is 1 in 2.
They found that for women aged 16-20 who used progesterone-only contraception, over the next 15 years, an extra 8 in 100,000 women would get breast cancer. It does NOT mean that if you take the pill you have a 1 in 4 chance of getting it.
If you are concerned about your risk, there are other things you can do to decrease it that have evidence behind them - exercise regularly, maintain a healthy weight for your height and cut down the amount of alcohol you drink.
You certainly shouldn't decide to stop contraception based on your future risk of getting breast cancer.
