Birth Control for Perimenopause

There are a lot of opinions about whether or not birth control pills for perimenopause are a good idea. There have been numerous studies, and even large national initiatives to examine this very question. Yet, there is much debate over the subject, even within the medical community. We do know that women need contraception until at least 12 months following their last menstrual period. If birth control can serve as a form of contraception and curb those hot flashes, can it be a win-win?
