I read a very interesting article on the potential association between birth control pills and prostate cancer last week.

In recent studies, it has been suggested that estrogen exposure increases the risk of prostate cancer.  Interestingly, this study proposed that oral contraceptive by-products may contaminate the environment and result in an increased low level estrogen exposure, which therefore increases the incidence of prostate cancer.  Even of more particular interest was the association that was made between increased oral contraceptive use around the world and an increased risk of prostate cancer, versus there being no association between the use of condoms, IUDs and other vaginal barriers and the risk of prostate cancer.

If you’d like to sit down and discuss prostate cancer, hormones or menstrual cycles with me, CONTACT ME HERE to set up a complimentary 15 min discovery call/meeting and we can get started.

What’s a discovery call/meeting?  It’s where we get to know each other better to ensure that I’m the right practitioner for you and that you have the opportunity to ask your questions about Naturopathic Medicine before we move forward with an initial Naturopathic consultation.
