No, it's not possible to stop a period once it has started. While some methods might lessen bleeding temporarily, they won't completely stop your period. As stated in multiple sources, "Once a period has started, it is not possible to stop it" [Takeaway]. Several articles reiterate this point, emphasizing that while birth control methods can reduce or even eliminate periods, once a cycle has begun, it cannot be abruptly halted [Medical News Today, Healthline]. If you want to manage or prevent your period for personal or medical reasons, consult a doctor. They can advise on appropriate options, including hormonal birth control which may help reduce or eliminate menstruation [Cleveland Clinic, Healthline].
Managing Menstrual Flow
While you can't stop a period mid-cycle, managing its flow is possible. Methods that may slightly lessen bleeding exist, but they won't stop it entirely.
