Are Hormone Pills Carcinogenics?

Based from the studies published over the last few years, the United Nations cancer agency, had reclassified hormonal menopause therapy from “ possibly carcinogenic to “ carcinogenic.”

The analysis for a panel of 21 scientist, concluded that estrogen and progestin menopause therapy also slightly increases the risk of endometrial cancer when progestin is taken less than 10 days a month. They also concluded that a common type of contraceptive pill, taken by about ten percent of women of reproductive age, increase the risk of more types of cancer.
