A member asked:
Can birth control help my irregular period and cramps?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
They often will: The BC pill was initially studied decades ago as a treatment for disorders of menses like irregularity or excess flow/cramping. The birth control side effect eventually became its main use. A visit with your doc to review your family history & personal needs can help you decide if they would work for you.
