Should you use the oral contraception pills to help with periods?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Contraceptive pills are some of the best tools for regulating both irregular cycles and heavy painful periods. There are other options and their use is dependent on your specific needs. Many women use the pill for these reasons in addition to the contraceptive effect.
