> I think there's a lot of mixed information out there and probably a lot of suppression from the industry going on, because of course there's a lot of money to be made in prescribing hormonal birth controls. This is of course your choice, which, as a grown adult you are forced to make sometimes. But it seems there is no scientific data showing this way or the other way. It just seems very ill-advised in general to claim that birth-control are somehow causing fibroid then. You write that "there is a lof of mixed information", but by backing unsubstantiated claims you are adding to the mix and confusion, - not clearing it up. > a lot of money to be made in prescribing hormonal birth controls There is also a lot of money to be made on traffic from spreading confusion and publishing controversing articles, as well as ultimately "alternative" "natural medicine" remedies, which people will naturaly will be drawn towards if they would be made believe that normal ones are dangerous. Just simple possibility of financial gain of some parties is just not a good analysis tool, it's just too circumstantial and rarely brings any real information. I hope of course that the science will catch up soon and we can figure this out definitevely. (did not downvote).
