Birth control and hormone therapy often spark big questions: Do they raise the risk of breast cancer?

Dr. Sandrine Crane explains:
✔️ Combination birth control pills can slightly raise risk, depending on the type and length of use.
✔️ Hormone replacement therapy after menopause can ease tough symptoms but may carry a small increased risk.
✔️ The key? Work with your doctor to balance benefits and risks and use the lowest dose for the shortest time needed. https://www.novanthealth.org/healthy-headlines/did-i-cause-my-own-breast-cancer
