Is it possible that birth control is causing cancer?

Question

What kind of cancer could birth control be contributing to? How common is it for someone to receive a blood clot from birth control? And are there any known incidents of someone dying from a brain aneurysm because of birth control?

Answer

There may be a slightly higher risk of breast and cervical cancers with the pill BUT there is a significantly lower risk of ovarian and endometrial cancers. As far as clots it is pretty uncommon to get one from the pill (1 person in 1000 to 1 in 5000 versus 1 in 340 during pregnancy) but if you are overweight, have clotting problems, smoke, or are 35 or older your risk goes up. You should talk to your doctor about it if you are worried because a lot of the risk depends on details about you and the specific kind of contraceptive you are using.

Answer

I actually quit taking it a couple of weeks ago. Just curious questions. Interested in knowing if anyone has done any of their own research besides asking a Doctor. Don't get me wrong Doctors know their stuff but I'm not sure if they all always have the best interest in mind for the patient.

Answer

Speak to your Dr regarding these concerns

Answer

Also aneurysm isn't related to a blood clot. It usually happens because of a weak place in a blood vessel in your brain. But there is some research that showed that women with brain aneurysms used birth control and hormone replacement therapy less than the average population.  (Chen 2011 J Neurointerv Surgery, Oral Contraceptive and Hormone Replacement Therapy in Women with Cerebral Aneurysms)
