Birth Control & Stroke Risk? Whoa!

Did you know taking the pill could triple your risk of a certain type of stroke—even if you don’t smoke or have migraines?

Experts are now saying doctors should assess stroke risk before prescribing birth control. Kinda wild, right? If you’re on the pill, maybe time for a chat with your doc! #HealthNews #WomensHealth #BirthControl #Health
