This is the conclusion, scientists from Britain, who for 40 years, watched two groups of women. One of them took oral contraceptives for at least four years, the other - did not take at all.
It was found that women who chose to defend themselves against unwanted pregnancy with pills, it is much less likely to suffer PMS and pain during menstruation. But most importantly, in those taking contraceptives by 12% was lower mortality, significantly reduced the risk of cancer (except breast cancer) and all kinds of disease, ranging from phlebitis and ending with a heart attack and stroke.
Value of the investigation, according to researchers - in the duration of observation and understanding of the long-term effects.
