Breast Cancer

There are a few ways to prevent breast cancer for girls. The two that i found most interesting were breast feeding and taking birth control pills. Breastfeeding for a total of one year or more lowers the risk of breast cancer. It also has great health benefits for the child. Birth control pills have both risks and benefits. The younger a woman is, the lower the risks are. While women are taking birth control pills, they have a slightly increased risk of breast cancer. This risk goes away quickly, though, after stopping the pill. The risk of stroke and heart attack is also increased while on the pill. Long-term use can have important benefits, like lowering the risk of ovarian cancer, colon cancer and uterine cancer. If you’re very concerned about breast cancer, avoiding birth control pills is one option to lower risk.
