Can birth control mask (hide) the symptoms of reproductive diseases such as endometriosis or cervical cancer? im going on the pill to regulate my period. they believe my spotting is from hormonal imbalances.

NO: BC pills will not mask GYN disease in most cases. A pelvic ultrasound will pick up extraneous illness.
