Hormone Medication
Oral contraceptives
- some women takes contraceptive pills each day all month, without the sugar pills to let her have her period, however, no guidelines exist which regulate the length of time which is safe for the woman to go on taking the contraceptive pills
- if a woman does not have her period, then the displaced endometrial cells won’t bleed, which relieves pain and adhesions
“I went through a rocky time with my boss while I was on birth control pills because the hormone fluctuations were so wild that I was angry and edgy a lot. I was afraid for a while that I would be fired, and I pride myself on my competency and my positive relationships with people. The hormone fluctuations were almost as bad as the pain because of the way they alienated others. I felt I was doing ‘repair’ work constantly and worrying all the time about the effect I was having on other people” Kathleen Wiater
