A member asked:
I have severe pmdd. taking continuous birth control could be the solution? would i still experience symptoms?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Should be less: The majority of symptoms from pmdd come from the rapid decline of estrogen just before one's period. When you take continuous, you spare your body those swings of hormone changes. Studies show women find relief with this regimen.
