Reply to comment by Riisiichan in Use of hormonal contraceptives is not associated with sleep patterns in women, study finds by lolfuys

Many people do not recognize these non-contraceptive benefits of hormonal birth control. Even though our daughter had relatively normal menstrual cycles, we encouraged her to start taking the mini pill around 15. Helped clear up her acne and she skips her periods allowing her to compete in sports without interruptions. No significant side effects that can be seen, especially when you compare it to mensuration symptoms. It should really be rebranded as some sort of female hormonal therapy.

I think often when we ask this question it is not about women who need it for non-contraceptive reasons.
