Diane 35 long term effects
Hi,
I have been diagnosed with PCOS and have hirsutism, slightly painful periods and acne as it's symptoms. So my doctor suggested to take Diane 35 for 3 cycles as a part of the treatment.But I heard that taking birth control pills for long term may increase the risk of cervical and breast cancer in females.
How far is this true?
If this is true, for what duration is one supposed to take the pills in order to avoid cancer? Is Diane 35 safe to use?
