Abstract
To alleviate menstrual cycle symptoms or to accommodate patient preferences, physicians may prescribe hormonal contraceptives (pills, patches, or rings) in extended cycles where hormones are taken for longer than 21 days and menstruation is delayed. No studies have evaluated prescribing extended cycles to adolescents. We sought to determine how frequently physicians prescribe extended cycles of hormonal contraceptives to adolescents, which extended cycling regimens they prescribe, and reasons for use.
