Using birth control pills to reschedule menstrual cycle ? is it safe?

چکیده
I saw a television program last Thursday featuring two leading endocrinologists from Philadelphia. One doctor said it was unhealthy for women to have continuous periods and it was better to continuously take the pill (without taking the placebo pills) so that a woman would have no periods. The other doctor thought the practice was dangerous. The show featured women who have done this for more than five years (no periods!) and are very happy with the results. Is it safe to continuously take the pill without getting a period?
