Is it true that you can stop/shorten your period by doing these things? (read more)

not really…. period length is however linked to the well being of the woman…. stress for example will (in most cases) lengthen the menstruation….

No, doing those things will not stop your period. Some of those things can help with cramps though. Certain types of birth control can stop and shorten your period.

Amenorrhea (lack of a period) can be caused by a number of things but none of the ones you listed. Very lean women may not have regular periods; this sometimes affects female endurance athletes. Pregnancy, of course, is another cause. Injuries or illnesses occasionally are the culprit. Birth control pills can prevent periods. Women on birth control pills start their period after they start the inactive pills; if instead of taking the inactive pills a woman starts on the active pills from their package that period will not occur. Sometimes women postpone their period this way when it will come on an inconvenient time (vacation, honeymoon, etc). There is even a birth control pill on the market that is dosed to allow only 4 periods per year.

I will add that drinking lots of water had been known to ease your period and make it more comfortable not that periods can ever become heaven on earth. Ask your doctor about a birth control called Seasonale. I take it. It is a 91 day regimen so you only have your period 4 times a year, and when it comes it is only 3 days tops for me anyways. However it is important you take it correctly because it can ruin your future of having children if not taken right.

It’s up to you guys of course, but I wouldn’t want to take pills that will make my period go away. I feel that our bodies have a cycle that shouldn’t be messed with. Becoming infertile is not a risk I’d be willing to take….

they said to stick a lemon up there and itll stop it.. lol jk
