Yes, several studies have proven that abortion increases the risk of breast cancer. Among all cancers, after skin cancer, breast cancer is the most common cause of death in women.

Women’s risk of certain forms of breast cancer is related to levels of the hormone in the body. The growth and distribution of breast cells take place in response to various hormones such as prolactin, estrogen, and progesterone. These hormone levels will alter throughout the woman’s life. However, these hormone levels will fluctuate significantly during pregnancy, which may cause additional changes to the breast tissues. Breast Cancer

Abortion increases the possibility of breast cancer because it disrupts the hormone cycle during pregnancy, experts say. Researchers believe that these hormonal disturbances might improve breast cancer risk.

  • A miscarriage is a pregnancy or an accidental abortion. Often this is the result of various fetus problems or the environment in which the fetus is developing.
  • Stillbirth is the technique used to treat pregnant women who are still in the womb. Pregnancy complications
  • An induced abortion is an abortion for pregnancy termination.

Findings that indicate whether abortion increases the risk of breast cancer or not:

  •  After a full-term pregnancy, the breast cancer risk is reduced by one to two weeks.
  • There is a slight increase in breast cancer chance and induced abortion.
  • There is also a link between breast cancer risk and spontaneous abortion.
