What can you do to help prevent breast cancer after you start taking birth control pills?
Birth control pills can cause breast cancer. What type of "preventative maintenance" can you do while you’re on them?
there is no sure way to prevent breast cancer; however, regular exercise and eating healthy can’t hurt. Make sure you are doing monthly self breast exams and getting a mammogram if you 40 or over (or earlier if you have a history).
Don’t hesitate to go to the doctor if you experience one. Have an annual breast examination by a doctor. If you’re 40 or you belong to the high risk group, you must have an annual mammography.
Remember detection is the key to prevent breast cancer.
