Contraceptive injections linked to increased risk

A new study has found a link between progestogen medications, often used in contraception, and an increased risk of brain tumours (meningioma). The study revealed that women who used contraceptive injections had a five times higher risk of developing brain tumours compared to those who did not use them.

Understanding these risks can help individuals make informed decisions about their health and well-being.
