Professional female athletes, women who travel a lot or have busy or physically demanding jobs (policewomen, photographers, nurses, etc.) and who want a <strong>lower frequency of menstrual cycles.<\/strong> The amount of <strong>estrogen hormones<\/strong> that the woman takes is higher compared to that taken with other pills, the patch and especially the ring.<br \/> In the case of the extended regimen, the woman may not have any <strong>menstrual-like flow<\/strong> <strong>(amenorrhea).<\/strong> This is a situation that is well-accepted by some women, and sometimes even requested from the gynecologist, while for others it presents an anxiety factor or a &#8220;failure&#8221; of femininity. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The &#8220;extended regimen&#8221; of the combined pill has been especially designed to eliminate the discomfort associated with the monthly flow, which significantly affects the quality of life for many women.
