Risk: You don't have any striking red flags . The risk from taking bc meds is weak but increases somewhat the longer you take them. Go for regular checkups. Your gynecologist can advise you further.

Agree with Dr. C: Do self examination each month after your period and get a mammogram at age 50. Wish you good health!
