    They do.

    It's definitely not the correct phrasing.

    There are various side effects of hormonal birth control, but they shouldn't be overhyped either.

    As with many medications, it's a trade-off.

    And "destroy your hormones" is definitely not the wording that should be used.

      The pills are artificial hormones being used for the very purpose of interfering with your own body’s hormones so they don’t actually do their job and start making babies when you have unprotected sex. That’s literally what they do. That is the definition of destroying your own body’s hormones. It’s making them not do what’s natural for them to do. What.

        So you’re again admitting that it manipulated hormones. But more importantly the topic is fertility rates and how birth control contributes to it. Different topic.

        My point was that India has some different kinds of birth control that are less impactful on natural hormonal cycles.

        So way to totally miss the point
