Birth Control Pill Might Lower Odds for Sports Injuries Lead researcher Luis Rodriguez from the University of Texas-Dallas and University of Texas-Southwestern analyzed health data from over 126,000 people aged 18 to 39 with orthopedic injuries. The study found that 0.5% of women on birth control pills had sprains or strains, compared to 2.5% of women not on the pill and 3.5% of men. Women on the pill were 85% less likely to suffer these injuries than men, while women not on the pill were 26% less likely. Researchers suggest that hormones in birth control pills might protect against these injuries. Senior researcher Yasin Dhaher noted the findings provide insights into how synthetic hormones may reduce injury risk in women and raise questions about the impact of hormone imbalances on injury risk.
