Which health benefit is associated with Combined hormonal contraception?

• A. Reduced dysmenorrhoea
• B. Improvement of acne
• C. Reduced menopausal symptoms
• D. All of the above

Answer: (D)

Combined hormonal contraception provides estrogen and progestin, which suppresses ovulation and stabilizes the endometrium. This leads to several health benefits: menstrual cramps are usually less severe (reduced dysmenorrhoea) and bleeding is often lighter; acne can improve because androgen effects on the skin are reduced; and in perimenopause, the steady hormone levels can lessen menopausal symptoms such as hot flashes. Because these effects can occur together, all of the above describes the benefits associated with combined hormonal contraception.
