It is not clear how the incidence of breast cancer is related to the use of oral contraceptive pills. Individual contraceptives have not been compared in terms of the incidence of breast side effects.
According to available data, breast cancer is slightly more common in women who use combined contraceptives than in women of the same age who do not use them. If you stop using combined contraceptives, the risk decreases, so that 10 years after you stop taking the drug, the risk is the same as for women who have never used combined contraceptives.
Breast cancer rarely occurs in women before the age of 40.
The risk of breast cancer in women taking progestin-only tablets is thought to be similar to that in women taking combination tablets, but the available data are inconclusive.

If you would like to use hormonal contraception but are concerned about breast cancer, I encourage you to consult your doctor. You can also take advantage of a teleconsultation via e.g. the Gdziepolek.pl portal:
