Detailed Answer:
Hi

Thank you for asking HCM.

I have gone through your query. Oral contraceptive pills ( Femilon) is used for regularizing menstrual period. It also helps to reduces male hormone levels and to reduce occurrence of acne and facial hair. You can use it after consulting a gynecologist. But once you stop it your period will be irregular again.

Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear.
Thanks.
