MARRIAGE AND CANCER

This hormonal imbalance leads to breast cancer and uterus cancer in females and prostate cancer in males.From the analyses, the research team found that a long and happy marriage life lowers the chance of developing health problems like heart disease, stroke and cancer.This shows how strong the effect of being married and having strong social bonds.unmarried persons do not get the same kind of support from their friendship.
