Q: my 17yo daughter was diagnosed with endometriosis and adenomyosis. her doctor recommended a birth control pills. isnt this risky for her since she has an aunt who died in breast cancer? for my daughters case, if not pills, what could be options?

: The birth control in low dosage is the recommended treatment for her condition. The fact that her aunt had Breast Ca is not a reason to give her treatment. Good Luck
