I'm curious about taking birth control in order to have fewer periods.
1. What drugs are used for this purpose? All I found from searching online was a drug called Seasonale.
3. How likely are the serious side effects of birth control - blood clots, heart attack, stroke?
2. Some say the benefit of menstruation is that it helps cleanse the reproductive tract by flushing out the uterine lining on a regular basis. Do women on birth control have a higher risk for vaginal or related infections?
