Strangely I asked a question which is sort of like this as the other list

What I wanted to actually know is
 Are birth control pills still unavailable in Japan for birth control
(They can be perscribed for other uses)

Err, what other uses do birth control pills have besides Birth Control?

They're often also used to regulate a menstrual cycle that might be
irregular or unstable. And some very pre-operative M2F transsexuals take
them for their hormone content (though not as often now, as they don't quite
have the hormone content they once did). Actually, they're not usually
*prescribed* as such for that purpose, but I think you see what I mean.
