Fertility Drugs No Link to Ovarian Cancer
There is newfound hope for women suffering from infertility issues. Those who have taken fertility drugs do not need to worry about a link to ovarian cancer. Previously, fertility experts worried that fertility drugs could possibly induce ovarian cancer, but new data shows otherwise.
WebMD released a report saying, "The study found little association between the use of drugs like Clomid and the cancer. There has long been concern that the ovulation-stimulating and ovulation-regulating drugs used to treat infertility raise ovarian cancer risk. Several small studies conducted in the 1990s suggested that they do, but more recent studies failed to show an association. Now the largest, most rigorously designed trial ever to address the question shows "no convincing association" between fertility drug use and ovarian cancer."
Fertility issues have been on the forefront of headlines in recent months with new laws, new products, procedures, and data. These recent revelations may ease the fears of many infertile couples who opted against fertility drugs with worries of potential risks associated with it.
