IUD and cancer
Researchers in Spain think one kind of birth control can help prevent cancer.
Twenty thousand women who all used various forms of birth control made up the large study group.
Those who used an IUD had nearly half the risk of developing cervical cancer, compared to women who never used the devices.
How long a woman used an IUD didn’t seem to matter.
Women had the same benefit whether they used the device for one year or ten.
