Contraceptive used by MILLIONS triples risk of strokes in young women - study has doctors concerned
[MAIL] Millions of women taking the combined contraceptive pill are at an increased risk of suffering a sudden, unexplained stroke, worrying research suggests.
Researchers, who analysed data from over 500 women, found those who used a combined oral contraceptive—better known as The Pill—were three times more likely to suffer a stroke than those who didn't.
This was despite researchers finding no significant link between The Pill and known risk stroke factors such as high blood pressure, migraines and obesity, suggesting it was the drug itself that was somehow responsible.
