"    You may know that the Pill lowers women&amp;#039;s risk of uterine and ovarian cancer. But a new study shows that some non-hormonal forms of birth control \u2014 even, strangely, vasectomy \u2014 have similar effects. Your partner&amp;#039;s vasectomy can lower your risk of ovarian cancer by 23 percent, while tubal ligation lowers your risk by 37 percent and using an IUD reduces risk by 25 percent, notes research from the University of Texas School of Public Health. IUDs, vasectomies, and tubal ligation all prevent sperm from coming into contact with the ovarian lining, which has an inflammatory effect that raises cancer risk. Though ovarian cancer is rare, it&amp;#039;s often fatal and can be hard to detect. So any weapon in the battle is exciting, says study author Roberta Ness, Ph.D. &amp;quot;Now we know that tubal ligation and vasectomies aren&amp;#039;t just great methods of family planning, they&amp;#039;re also effective in protecting against a tough-to-fight disease.&amp;quot; "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
