How Can Periods Be Stopped Immediately?
Question: Please tell me a way to stop my periods after it has started. I am on 4th day of my period and I need to stop bleeding immediately.
Brief Answer:
Detail below.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
The fact is: you cannot stop periods once they have started. You can certainly use remedies and conventional medicines to postpone or delay periods-but you cannot stop them completely once they have begun.
Many women-younger girls especially-tend to believe that one can take Birth control pills or oral contraceptives to stop periods once they have started.
But you can try the following thing-
1) Take hormonal birth control. Oral birth control pills and the birth control shot can both be used to regulate your cycle.
2) Have sex.
3) Exercise regularly.
4) Ditch your tampons.
5) Up your vitamin C.
Hope I have answered your query.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Rakhi Tayal, OBGYN
