If you’re deciding whether the Pill or HRT are right for you, there are lots of things to consider. Your GP can help you weigh up the pros and cons.
Things like the Pill and HRT affect our hormone levels, as well as cancer risk.
HRT can increase the risk of some cancers, but there are other things to consider. If you are thinking of stopping or starting HRT speak to your GP.
The Pill increases the risk of some cancers and decreases the risk of others. Overall, it prevents more cases than it causes.
