A member asked:
Does having a miscarriage (when the body naturally aborts a pregnancy) increase my chances of breast cancer?
6 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
No: There is no scientific evidence in the gynecologic medical literature that miscarriage - whether spontaneous such as a miscarriage, or induced, such as with an elective abortion - is in any way associated with an increased risk of breast cancer or any other malignancy for that matter.

No: This does not increase your risk for breast cancer. I'm sorry for your loss. I know this is a difficult time for you and your family. Best of luck in the future.
