Can taking plan b pill several times over the course of a few years increase my risk of developing breast cancer?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably not: Over few weeks ,may be not.over few months ,less likely. Over years ,may be the reason is because you do not care about your health,or your safety.if you do you will not keep yourself so vulnerable by keep taking plan B to prevent pregnancy.you are a healthy young lady,sexually active. You should be practicing safe sex first.second you should be on a plan to protect you from pregnancy.be smart.
