Practice Question
Medications that can affect the male or female reproductive tract are prescribed for all of the following EXCEPT
Answer Choices:
Correct Answer:
Prevention of Ovarian/Uterine/Breast Cancers
Rationale:
💎Medications for the reproductive tract are primarily used for contraception, hormone replacement, or treatment of conditions like BPH and ED, but not for cancer prevention.
💎While hormones may play a role in cancer treatment (such as anti-estrogen therapy in breast cancer), they are not prescribed to prevent these cancers.
💎Cancer prevention relies on screening, genetic counseling, and risk reduction strategies rather than hormone manipulation.
💎Giving estrogen or progestin for “cancer prevention” could actually increase cancer risk in some cases (e.g., endometrial or breast cancer).
💎Therefore, reproductive medications target treatment and regulation, not cancer prevention.
