Add to Favorites I can not see how anything that disrupts a woman's natural body functions can possibly called good. To delay the menstrual cycle or to close it down for a temporary time has to be harmful to their health.
The body will close down the cycle if there is starvation or sickness, because there would be a problem with the child, but to close it down on a healthy woman is very foolish. I don't think there have been enough tests to prove there will not be a problem when the girl is ready to have a baby. No one has looked that far in the future. The women may find that in a couple of years when they are ready to have children they are unable to and will regret taking that pill.
God has designed woman's bodies to have children, and I think it is a very good design. Sure, menstrual cycles are a pain, but it has a purpose, and should not be put aside just because it is a hinderance.

Is the new contraceptive pill that stops menstruation healthy for women?
As a baby boomer that will be 50 in another year, I believe that as females, our general make up requires us to experience many events during the course of our lives. In looking at various ways to alter natural happenings such as having monthly menstrual periods, I strongly believe that sooner or later, some problems can occur. The thought of not having a menstrual period just sounds so unnatural, but many women welcome that event with open arms. The shot method has become one of the most popular form of birth control for females in age groups 14 to 25. But everything is not for everybody; females of all sorts may experience various side effects.
As a teen, I tried birth control pills for a spell but due to nagging side cramps, I stopped using them. Now, I got my tubes tied at age 29 because I did try using birth control pills for a second time, after the birth of my second child, but my blood pressure would be a lot higher than normal, so the doctors suggested that I discontinue using them.
Several months after getting my tubes tied, I noticed that my premenstrual syndrome episodes were serious than before. I had begun to experience more severe headaches and heavier flowing. Now that I am going through menopause, I believe that once this phase in my life ends, I will feel a whole lot better.
I have learned through various female students that taking birth control pills or the shots have numerous side effects. Some females experienced tremendous weight gain, which also enhanced their blood pressure rate, and others complained about hair loss, and dryness in the vagina area. There have also been a small number of females, in their early twenties that complained about not being able to have children as a result of taking birth control at a very young age; usually around the ages twelve to thirteen.
I am all for preventing teen pregnancies, and I also believe that staying abreast of changes in medical conditions, eating, and sleeping right, and just taking care of yourself can benefit all types of females in their quest in maintaining a healthy life style, but when it comes to making a decision about birth control, learning more about your medical history, obtaining adequate knowledge regarding different birth control methods and their side effects, can limits some future problems.
