Paracetamol Prevents Ovarian Cancer

Can you name a common medicine that may be good for your ovaries? Try Paracetamol.

Greek researchers found that women who took the painkiller as few as five times a month (and as often as once a day), were 30% less likely to develop ovarian cancer than those who used the painkiller rarely or never.

The Scientific explanation: Stefanos Bonovas, MD, a pharmacology researcher at the University of Athens, says that paracetamol seems to shrink the ovaries, making it more difficult for cancer to develop. But no, one should not take the drug just to prevent cancer – long term use can lead to chronic kidney and liver failure.

Still, if you need something for pain or fever, this finding is another reason to choose paracetamol.
