Periods and the Pill

For a long time now I've suffered severe problems during the run-up to my period; I get severely bloated after eating, my weight rising up to half a stone, my chest breaks out in spots and the three or four days before I come on I have serious cramps. I've tried Vitamin B6 and evening primrose oil but they don't seem to work very well. A friend suggested I go on the pill, but I always thought that was simply used to regulate periods.
Anyone have any idea if the pill can work for other problems other than irregular periods? If so I'll talk to my GP but I thought I'd get a second opinion before traipsing all the way down there!

Im now expert. But my girlfriend finds that aswell as regulating her periods, they are alot less heavy and she doesnt faint. Im not sure if it would help the problems that you have though.
