Um The question of what are some of the symp earliest symptoms that people can recognize without a blood test . So , is o ovarian cancer , is it gonna be pain ?
We know that if you take the oral contraceptive for about five years , it reduces your risk of ovarian cancer by 50% . And that's significant because we're so poor at diagnosing ovarian cancer early . There's really no method that's really effective .
And it makes me wonder whether or not if on the one hand , oral contraceptives are protective in women . It's ovarian cancer , but then they have these other issues . Yeah , there's one other .
Um The question of what are some of the symp earliest symptoms that people can recognize without a blood test . So , is o ovarian cancer , is it gonna be pain ? So , the problem is , the symptoms are so vague and they're so non-specific .
So I'll speak first into the benefits because uh I'm gonna get on a soapbox a little bit about the risks . So we know that it reduces the risk of ovarian cancer . So there's something about this idea of incessant ovulation that is not good for the female body .
