than having a monthly period, according to many health experts, like Dr. Sophia Yen, CEO and co-founder of birth control delivery serviceStopping or skipping your period “decreases your chance of endometrial, ovarian and colorectal cancer,” she told“Every time you pop out an egg, you risk ovarian cancer,” Yen explained. “Every time you bleed because you had to grow and shed and grow back again that [uterine] lining, you risk endometrial cancer.

“To me, it is a shame that wherever there’s toilet paper, like public bathrooms, there aren’t free menstrual products because it’s just another bodily function coming out of another bodily orifice,” Yen told. “It’s a totally sexist thing.
