Some types do. Most just regulate it to be on an exact 28 day cycle, and can even make your periods lighter and shorter. Progestin pills can stop your cycle entirely, and there are pills out on the market that can cut your periods down to as few as 4 per year.

Hormonal Birth Control completely suppresses the menstrual cycle.

Hormonal birth control such as the pill works to suppress the menstrual cycle in order to prevent ovulation, also to effect cervical mucus and prevent secondary uterus lining build-up. Although women will bleed monthly this is a withdrawal bleed caused by the drop in hormones when going from active to inactive pills, it mimics menstruation but is a completely different function to menstruation.
