Are birth control pills safe for a 12 year old?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes if needed: There are young girls who benefit from birth control pills. This may be for bleeding abnormalities, painful cycles (endometriosis), or both. If taken properly, it should not be a problem & i prefer this to injectable progestins (dmpa, depo-provera) in young girls since they benefit from the estrogen.
