Hi, I had an abortion last month and I was prescribed novelon. Just wanted to know is it still necessary to take the pill if I am not having intercourse and does it increase my risk of cancer or other side effects though I don't have a family history.

There is no need if you are not having intercourse. However there's no chance of cancer, rather it decreases chance of ovarian cancer.
