A worry signs for those women who use contraceptive pills for a long time, study conducted in this field showed that such women possess double the risk of having cervical cancer than other women. In this new research it was found out that cervical cancer affects more over those women who have a habit of consuming contraceptive pills for continuous period. It also pointed out the fact that, ten years after stopping to take the pill the threat of cervical cancer reduces. It was noticed that previously also research has been done in this regard, the outcome of which confirmed that the risk cervical cancer is associated with the period of use of the contraceptive pill. As the period of use increases the risk also increases.

The study has revealed the duration after which the danger of cervical cancer is lower. Women can avoid this disease easily and nothing to panic, but the other side of the study showed that contraceptive pills can reduce the risk of ovarian cancer and cancer of womb lining. It is known that contraceptive pills are mainly used by a large section of women these days, but the long use can be risky for them, with the fear of cervical cancer.

Whereas Dr Jane Green of Oxford University in her The Lancet medical journal has mentioned that “The incidence of cervical cancer increases with age and so the contribution of hormonal contraceptives to the lifetime incidence of cervical cancer will depend largely on the effects at older ages, when most women are past users.”

With the study and its final conclusion will help women to stay away from the risk of cervical and cancer and plan out the way to deal with contraceptive menace.

What is Cervical Cancer?

Cancer is a disease in which certain body cells don’t function right, divide very fast, and produce too much tissue that forms a tumor. Cervical cancer is cancer in the cervix, the lower, narrow part of the uterus (womb). The uterus is the hollow, pear-shaped organ where a baby grows during a woman’s pregnancy. The cervix forms a canal that opens into the vagina (birth canal), which leads to the outside of the body.
