A. Fibroadenoma breast
- B.
B. Iron deficiency anemia
- C.
C. Ovarian cancer
- D.
D. Hepatocellular adenoma
Correct Answer
D. D. Hepatocellular adenomaExplanation
Oral contraceptives have been found to decrease the risk of developing hepatocellular adenoma, a type of liver tumor. This is because the hormones in oral contraceptives can help regulate cell growth in the liver and prevent the development of abnormal cells that can lead to adenoma formation. However, it is important to note that while oral contraceptives can reduce the risk of hepatocellular adenoma, they may also slightly increase the risk of other types of liver tumors, such as hepatocellular carcinoma. Therefore, it is crucial to weigh the benefits and risks with a healthcare provider before starting oral contraceptives.Rate this question:
