Research Notes on Birth Control Pills for Perimenopausal Symptoms


It has been scientifically proven that birth control pills offer several additional health benefits beyond birth control for perimenopausal women. They may relieve minor hot flashes, irritability, insomnia, and any other symptoms common to the beginnings of menopause.1

Fast Facts:

  • It is possible to use the Evra patch for perimenopause as well.2
  • Women who have a history of deep blood clots, breast cancer or heart disease should not take very-low-dose birth control pills.3
  • Studies report a range of 65% to 100% of women gaining partial to full relief from hot flashes when using birth control pills.4
