Oral contraceptive pills (OCPs) can help prevent ovarian cancer primarily by suppressing ovulation. By inhibiting the hormonal signals that trigger ovulation, OCPs reduce the number of times the ovarian surface epithelium is exposed to injury and repair processes associated with ovulation, which can contribute to cancer development. Additionally, OCPs lead to changes in the hormonal environment of the ovaries, including increased levels of progesterone, which may have protective effects against tumor formation. This combination of reduced ovulatory cycles and altered hormone levels is thought to lower the risk of ovarian cancer.

What are the active ingredients in the combined oral contraceptive pill and their mechanisms of action?

The active ingredients of the combined oral contraceptive pill are estrogen and progesterone. These pills are taken to prevent ovulation to prevent unwanted pregnancies. There is synergism between estrogen and progesterone where estrogen leads to progesterone receptors being upregulated so that they are more sensitive to progesterone. The combined oral contraceptive pill is highly effective. Its effect on preventing ovulation is the greatest. In addition to these effect, it can prevent unwanted pregnancies by thickening the cervical mucus, reducing the transport of the egg and the sperm in the Fallopian tubes, and changing the endometrium so that implantation is less likely to occur.
