What's the point of phasic birth control pills?

I was prescibed Triphasil, and I was wondering what the point of taking a phasic pill even is. I read it was supposed to simulate a natural menstrual cycle. Why would you want to do that when the pill is supposed to sabotage your menstual cycle? I don't doubt that it works.. but do they think it's less of a shock to the body or something?

Well... besides for preventing pregnancy obviously.

They simulate the hormonal changes of a normal menstrual cycle while suppressing your cycle by inhibiting ovulation. They are just supposed to mirror the normal hormonal changes you go through when not on the pills. I do not use them in any woman who has a strong complaint of PMS- single strength pills work better for these women.
