Following on from the last podcast on hormonal birth control, I wanted to talk about endometrial cancer.
I realised that I’d somehow missed that in the original podcast and it would be remiss of me to gloss over the topic, since women with PCOS are about 3 times more likely to get endometrial cancer than women without PCOS.
While there’s a fair amount of research to show that there’s an increased risk of breast cancer with taking hormonal contraception, there’s also research to show that hormonal contraception may reduce your risk of endometrial cancer - which is particularly important for us cystas.
I’ve decided to dedicate today’s episode to talking about that - all about endometrial cancers’ and breast cancers’ risk in relation to hormonal contraception, relative risk and what you should take into consideration based on this information.
Please don’t let this freak you out, it’s so important to understand the potential risks you face not only with a condition like PCOS but also with medications you take. I think this will be a podcast you’ll definitely want to listen in on regardless of if you’re on hormonal contraception or not.
