If you have sever cramps should you take birth control even if you're not sexually active?

Yes!: Studies have shown dysmenorrhoea responds favourably to ovulation inhibition, and that the synthetic hormones in the combined oral contraceptive pill can be used to treat dysmenorrhoea. For more information please read: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11687142
