OVERVIEW
Menstrual suppression is the practice of using hormonal birth control to stop or significantly reduce the volume and frequency of uterine bleeding. It is a fertility awareness method often used by women who have regular, predictable menstrual cycles.
There are many reasons why a woman might want to suppress her period. Some women use it to make their lives more convenient, while others do it for religious or cultural reasons. Some women even use it to prevent or treat medical conditions like endometriosis.
