A member asked:
Could birth control really help lighten periods and less cramps?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes, very likely.: Birth control pills will usually make your period lighter, more predicable and less painful. Most women will have less cramps. This is a very common reason to recommend birth control to a patient.
