Are Breast Enhancement Pills Dangerous?

101 23
Do you fear taking breast enhancement pills? Do you think they might be a danger to your health or increase the risk of cancer?

Let's put the record straight once and for all. Let's talk about the so called dangers with breast enlargement pills.

Does the intake of natural estrogens increase the risk of cancer?

There is some increase in risk of breast cancer after many years of hormone therapy with estrogens. And we are talking about the estrogens found in medicines that your doctor prescribes to you.

It is important to know that breast cancer is a common cancer among older women. It is often said that among 100 women 7 of them are affected with breast cancer at some time between 50 and 75 years, and that estrogenic treatment contributes to a few extra cases.

The longer term treatment, the greater the risk. Estrogenic treatment, which lasts between 10 to 15 years, can mean an increase from 7 breast cancer cases among 100 women to 9 cases.

This increased risk should be taken into consideration when you balance the benefit and risk - especially if treatment continues for many years.

There are studies suggesting that the breast tumours that women receive as a result of the hormone treatment have a more favourable course than other breast tumours. This means that the chance to survive a breast cancer caused by hormone therapy may be greater than for other tumour types in the breast.

Natural estrogens, which we find in plants and food, the so-called Phyto-SERMS or phytoestrogens, should not be confused with estrogens you get prescribed from your doctor. Constantly we hear from various experts on how different food products or natural substances are dangerous, however, the question is what facts these experts rely on. Some doctors obviously make assumptions without facts.

Should you refrain from taking breast enhancement pills?

Firstly Phytoestroges, the natural estrogens, are not even near as strong as the estrogens doctors prescribe. Furthermore, you only consume breast enhancement pills for six months to 1 year, while a hormonal treatment with chemical produced estrogens is approximately a 10-15 years treatment.

The conclusion is that the breast enlargement pills are just as dangerous as a large daily consumption of organic beans. The risk is minimal and almost invisible. You should be more worried if you're eating chicken and meat and food without the organic stamp.
