Endometrial cancer, also known as uterine cancer, is a type of cancer that affects the lining of the uterus . It is most commonly found in postmenopausal women and can cause symptoms such as abnormal vaginal bleeding, pelvic pain, and pain during sex.
“We found that the more time a woman spent pregnant or on the contraceptive pill – when the body is exposed to less estrogen – was associated with a lower risk of endometrial cancer,” Dr. Moen said. “While previous studies have shown multiple pregnancies and using the oral contraceptive pill can reduce the risk of endometrial cancer, this is the first study that used genetics to study multiple risk factors at once.
Researchers found evidence that suggested reducing the years of ovulating could reduce the risk of endometrial cancer, but the strongest links pointed to childbirth. Dr. Moen said there could be several explanations for why pregnancy reduces the risk of endometrial cancer. “In obesity, high levels of estrogen are produced in fat tissue, which makes it a risk factor for endometrial cancer,” Dr. Moen said.
