A member asked:
How often can doctors prescribe oral contraceptives for menstrual pain/symptoms?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Frequently: At least I do that is one option for that after you have had a proper workup to r/o any causes that would require surgical intervention and there are many other medical options to treat the pain besides bc pills.
