[quote=Anonymous]I think when OB/GYNs say this, they are making very simplistic statements, and what the majority mean is that it is not a big deal to miss a period once in a while. There is a real lack of knowledge about how reproductive hormones may or may not impact health outcomes including prevalence of different cancers. Women in modern societies do have more menstrual cycles than women in traditional societies, and researchers have speculated that menstrual cycles impact prevalences of different cancers in women. The answer is likely that it depends entirely on each individual's genetic and environmental makeup, as to whether, they need to have as many periods as we do in modern societies. The research is not there yet. I would not feel comfortable putting a child on the pill just to spare them from having their period (if they had no other adverse symptoms). I do agree with my OB/GYN that skipping your period purposefully on occasion is NBD.[/quote]
