Contraceptive Pill & Brain Tumor Link?

Just saw this study linking long-term use of the desogestrel contraceptive pill to a slightly higher risk of a non-cancerous brain tumor (meningioma). The risk is still super low—like 1 in 17,000 after 5+ years—but it’s something to keep in mind if you’ve been on it for a while. The good news? The risk drops if you stop taking it, and another pill, levonorgestrel, didn’t show the same risk. Worth chatting with your doc if you’re concerned! #HealthNews #WomensHealth #ContraceptiveAwareness #Health #BodyHealth
