BCPs suppress ovarian activity. This can help with the overproduction of testosterone and will also stop/limit the development of cysts on the ovaries.less testosterone can mean less unwanted hair,acne etc.. Also it is true that regular menstruation does significantly reduce risks for uterine cancer. Not a cure-but a big help for some women,especially those who don't get complete relief with insulin sensitizers.
