Birth control: It depends on what type of birth control you mean. The most obvious benefit is preventing unintended pregnancy. Oral contraceptive pills can also help reduce amount of bleeding with the menses, reduce anemia by reducing bleeding, decrease pain with the menses, reduce risk of ovarian cancer, and other symptoms. Other birth control methods have other benefits and risks.
