@ChasingWaterfalls @LisbonMuse @Sapphoro I agree, it's not appropriate for teenagers. I can see the need for a restriction on the procedure up to full brain development, at say, 25 years old. Many women do have horrible periods, and this option should be available to them, especially if they have had adverse reactions to birth control pills, which some women take to have regular periods, or to stop them altogether. BC pills were not recommended for me due to my history of cervical cancer. Any woman who chooses BC pills for period control should be carefully screened and vaccinated against HPV, and use condoms.
