Conversely, oral contraceptives have been shown to reduce the risk of other types of cancer, including:
Ovarian Cancer: The use of birth control pills significantly reduces the risk of ovarian cancer, with protection lasting for many years after discontinuation. Endometrial Cancer: Long-term use of oral contraceptives also lowers the risk of endometrial cancer, with benefits extending beyond the duration of use. Colorectal Cancer: Some evidence suggests a reduced risk of colorectal cancer among users of oral contraceptives, although more research is needed to confirm this.
