In addition to providing safe and effective contraception, both the combined oral contraceptive pill (COCP) and selected long-acting progestogen-only contraceptives have significant health benefits. The COCP may reduce menstrual blood loss, dysmenorrhoea and premenstrual syndrome; unequivocally reduces the later incidence of endometrial and ovarian cancer; appears to help protect future fertility, probably by reducing the risk of acute pelvic inflammatory disease, endometriosis and uterine fibroids. The quality of evidence for individual non-contraceptive health benefits of the COCP is very variable.
