Abstract:

According to a new study published this week in Breast Cancer Research, daily aspirin use appears to slightly reduce the risk of estrogen receptor-positive (ER+) breast cancer, the most common type of breast cancer. However, the current evidence isn't strong enough to suggest women take aspirin as a preventative measure, and experts caution against regular use of the painkiller for this purpose, warning it can cause serious gastrointestinal bleeding.

This research is true as we can see that daily usage of aspirin makes a woman addict. Therefore, its better to leave the daily excessive usage of aspirin. Women can go through Drug Rehab Treatment to get rid of it.
