- StavrosK 11y agoAre you saying that problems are normal and healthy?
- golergka 11y agoThanks, I can read. My point is, while this might be a desirable side-effect, this is not the reason women are on the pill.
- mkaziz 11y agoActually, a lot of women who have really bad periods sometimes specifically go on the pill to reduce their intensity. Source: friends in med school who have gone through their ob-gyn rotations.
- golergka 11y agoWow, I had no idea. Thanks.
- toomuchtodo 11y agoJust to add to mkaziz's info, my wife specifically went on the pill in her teens, and was on it through her early through mid twenties specifically to address how painful her periods were. Its not well known, but some women's periods can be debilitating (several days where you experience intense pain and cramping, where you don't even want to get out of bed).
