A member asked:

Which birth control pills are best for women who have heavy, irregular, and painful periods? which features make them effective for menstrual help?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

So many options: There are really too many options available depending on each individual's circumstances to go over in this short answer. It is an excellent question to pose to your doctor. Some women need estrogen predominant, some benefit from triphasic pills - it all depends on your individual history.
