SAN DIEGO, May 7 (UPI) -- Low-dose estrogen oral contraceptives may increase a woman's risk for chronic pelvic pain symptoms and even pain during sexual climax, U.S. researchers say.
Researchers at New York University and Waitemata District Health Board in Auckland, New Zealand, conducted a study to compare chronic pelvic pain symptoms between young women who are current oral contraceptives users and non-users using data from an anonymous, Internet-based survey of women ages 18-39 within large university populations.
