Continuous Birth Control Use: New Research Debunks Myths and Affirms Safety for Years Without Periods
A growing number of Thai women are choosing to skip their periods for months or years by using continuous birth control. New research and expert interviews show that this approach is safe and effective when medically supervised. This view counters myths circulating on social platforms. The scientific consensus now is clear: continuous hormonal contraception does not pose long‑term health risks and does not cause infertility.
Traditionally, the monthly bleed has been seen as a sign of normal reproductive health. A recent feature by a major outlet explains that hormonal birth control can be used with or without a withdrawal bleed. Pills, injections, implants, and rings can be taken in a way that avoids the placebo week. Leading obstetricians emphasize that there is no medical necessity for a period when using hormonal contraceptives. Their experience from decades of practice lends substantial credibility to these findings.
