Combined oral contraceptive pill
Treatment where fertility is not preserved
The combined oral contraceptive pill ('the pill') was originally designed to help with painful periods. It reduces pain and bleeding by about 50%. Coils or intrauterine contraceptive devices (IUCDs) typically lead to heavier periods. The progestogen intrauterine system (IUS) e.g. Mirena, is a coil that can dramatically reduce your period. It contains a progestogen instead of a copper coil.

Polycystic ovarian syndrome
The ovary creates an egg by producing a little cyst (a follicle). The ovary produces the egg by bursting open the follicle. If the ovary is not able to produce the egg by bursting the follicle, a number of unruptured follicles will stay in the ovary, giving the appearance of many little cysts (polycystic).
