Worried about the pill
It doe. a lot more good than
harm
The statistic, on heart
attacks and strokes have
been reported out of context
And they too were based on
pills that contained far more
estrogen than today's pills
Heart attacks are so rare as
to be almost nonexistent in
young women who do not
have some risk factor such
as smoking or high blood
pressure For women who do
not smoke and do not have
high blood pressure or
diabetes, there is almost no
risk of heart attacks from
birth control pills And there
is very little evidence to sup-
port the danger of strokes
DEAR DR LAMB - Will
you please explain the symp-
toms of a rare virus called
neutropenia’’ After running
a high fever, our grand
daughter was hospitalized
for two weeks. Tests
revealed her blood count
was extremely low and she
had an infection in her liver
DEAR READER - Neu
tropenia is not a virus but
the term used for having too
few white blood cells Your
white blood cells are very
important in protecting your
body from infections When
the white count is truly too
low you will be especially
susceptible to infectious
diseases
Any symptoms that occur
are caused by whatever
infection is able to success-
fully attack the body To
Illustrate, when a person is
taking chemotherapy for
cancer the white blood cells
may be low and that person
is susceptible to pneumonia.
DEAR DR LAMB - I am
21 years old and am taking
birth control pills My fiance
and I don't want any chil-
dren now But 1 am con-
cerned about whether I
should stop taking the pill
from time to time My
gynecologist says that isn't
necessary
Also what about cancer of
the breast Will I be more
likely to have cancer later’
Or will 1 have other
cancers’ I have heard that
women who take the pill are
more likely to have heart
attacks and strokes too Any
information would be great-
ly appreciated
DEAR READER - The
longer the pill has been
investigated the safer it
appears to be Some of the
early reports about compli-
cations of the pill were
related to rather poor stud-
ies that really did not sup-
port the conclusions that
often made headlines And
the amount of estrogen used
was far more than is used
today
You may have a slight
increase in risk of breast
cancer in later years
because you are using birth
control pills to delay your
first pregnancy Whatever a
woman does to delay her
first pregnancy will increase
the risk of breast cancer,
even abstinence
But recent studies have
shown that otherwise there
u no relationship between
taking the pill, even for
years without stopping and
breast cancer And it actual-
ly decreases a woman's
chances of developing can-

Teaching young people how
to keep from getting pregnant
does not tempt them to go out
and have sex They are
already having sex, and pay-
ing - billions of dollars every
year for aid to dependent
mothers who stay on welfare
a long time...sometimes
forever And some of these
dependent mothers don't
have one kid. They have
three, four and five.

the mistaken notion that to-
posite is true. If I knew a lot I day’s teenagers are well-

looking to me and other
young unmarried mothers for
