Question
Hi, I have heard that taking pills that contain estrogen in the teenage years can reduce growth. Is that true?
thank you.

Answer
Hello Leora,
I'm not a medical doctor so just wanted you to know that. I did some research on this and I only found one article so far. This one article said that this is not true that the birth control pills can reduce growth. I will try to see what else I can find if you will email me at DCHERYL51@yahoo.com
Hope I can find something more helpful. Are you thinking about going on the pill? Let me know and I can give you more information.
