I realize this is a bit old, but in case anyone else comes across it...
For contraception to be "preventative medicine" then:
- polycystic ovary syndrome (cysts in the ovaries, leading to a whole host of other problems including infertility) - endometriosis (uterine lining on the ovaries or fallopian tubes, often very painful) - adenomyosis (uterine lining IN the muscles of the uterus, leads to heavy, painful periods) - menstruation-related anemia (low iron producing faintness) - painful or irregular menstruation
must also be diseases. And they are. I get the point the graphic makes, but not everyone on BC is taking it for contraception.
