Why Hormonal Birth Control Is Not the Answer
Your doctor may not care very much about your monthly report card. She’s not thinking about which subtle underlying issue is the cause of your period problems because the solution is always the same: take the pill.
The pill is a combined oral contraceptive, which is one of the types of hormonal birth control that suppress ovulation.
Hormonal birth control
Hormonal birth control is the general term for all tablets, patches, and injections that deliver steroid drugs to suppress ovarian function. The combined pill (estrogen plus a progestin) is the most popular type.
Why does your doctor love the pill so much? Because it is a handy catch-all solution. Missing periods? Take the pill. Period pain? Take the pill. Polycystic ovary syndrome or endometriosis? Take the pill.
Then, when you want to become pregnant, you can take a fertility drug. Conventional medical prescribing for period problems tends to look like this.
Translation - Spanish Por qué los anticonceptivos hormonales no son la respuesta
Es posible que a tu médica no le importe mucho tu boletín mensual. Puede que no tenga en cuenta la sutiles causas que subyacen a los problemas de tu ciclo menstrual porque la solución es siempre la misma: tomar la píldora.
La píldora es un anticonceptivo oral combinado y es uno de los tipos de anticonceptivos hormonales que inhiben la ovulación.
Anticonceptivos hormonales
Anticonceptivo hormonal es el término general para todos los comprimidos, parches e inyecciones de esteroides que inhiben la función ovárica. La píldora combinada (estrógeno más progestina) es el método más conocido.
¿Por qué a tu médica le gusta tanto la píldora? Porque es una solución práctica y multifuncional. ¿Menstruación ausente? Toma la píldora. ¿Dolor menstrual? Toma la píldora. ¿Síndrome del ovario poliquístico o endometriosis? Toma la píldora.
Después, cuando desees quedarte embarazada, puedes tomar un medicamento para la fertilidad. La prescripción médica convencional para los problemas del periodo tiende a parecerse a esto.

Source text - English Put simply, insulin resistance is the condition of having chronically elevated levels of insulin, the hormone that stimulates cells to take up glucose. It’s also called hyperinsulinemia, metabolic syndrome, or prediabetes, and there’s at least a one in two chance you have it. Untreated, insulin resistance can progress to type 2 diabetes.
With insulin resistance, the problem is not insulin itself, which is, of course, an essential and beneficial hormone. Benefits of insulin include turning food into energy (essential for life), promoting muscle growth (which means it’s anabolic), and helping to maintain a healthy menstrual cycle. Low insulin is why undereating can cause young women to lose their periods.
Translation - Spanish En pocas palabras, la resistencia a la insulina implica tener niveles crónicamente elevados de insulina, la hormona que estimula las células para absorber glucosa. También se llama hiperinsulinemia, síndrome metabólico o prediabetes, y hay al menos una posibilidad entre dos de que la tengas. Cuando no se trata, la resistencia a la insulina puede progresar a diabetes tipo 2.
Cuando esta se da, el problema no es la insulina en sí, que es, por supuesto, una hormona esencial y beneficiosa. Entre los beneficios de la insulina podemos destacar los de convertir los alimentos en energía (esencial para la vida), promover el crecimiento muscular (lo que significa que es anabólica), y ayudar a mantener un ciclo menstrual saludable. Una baja cantidad de insulina es la razón por la que alimentarse poco puede hacer que las mujeres más jóvenes pierdan sus ciclos.
