Most gynecologists have believed in the pill's pain relieving properties for decades, but a review published in the Cochrane Collaboration in 2009 concluded that there was only limited evidence to suggest the pain relief benefits. "Gynecologists have been prescribing combined oral contraceptives for the last 40 years and for this indication," said Dr. Paula Hillard, professor of obstetrics and gynecology at Stanford University School of Medicine. "It was disappointing to see results of Cochrane. ... But gynecologists didn't feel that this proved that the pills weren't helpful, only that the studies hadn't yet been done to show it." The study authors reported that dysmenorrhea accounts for 600 million hours lost at work and $2 billion worth of productivity in the United States alone. "[Painful periods] can have a detrimental effect on these women's lives, causing regular absenteeism from school and work, and interfering with their daily activities for several days each month," lead author Lindh continued in the statement. "Therefore effective management of dysmenorrhea is beneficial for both the women affected and society." And experts welcome the confirmed findings. "This is a well-done, informative study," said Dr. Diane Harper, director of the Gynecologic Cancer Prevention Research Group at the University of Missouri-Kansas City. "The evidence is finally available to support what physicians see in their offices on a daily basis -- women with painful menses are indeed helped by being on a combined estrogen/progesterone pill to make the menses lighter and less painful in discharge."
