Do Fertility Drugs Increase Thyroid Cancer Risks?

Women who take the most common fertility drugs, progesterone and clomiphene, are at a greater risk to develop thyroid cancer than those who don’t, according to a study by the Institute of Cancer Epidemiology, Danish Cancer Society. The 36-year study, which tracked thousands of women, discovered that women who took fertility drugs developed thyroid cancer at an increased rate over those who did not. Compounded with the previously documented risks of multiple births and other complications, many couples have begun seeking natural alternatives to the use of fertility drugs.

Physical Therapist Belinda Wurn, who developed a natural fertility treatment with her therapist husband Larry Wurn, discuss natural alternatives to fertility drug on the Health Network Radio Show.
