Is It Possible To Stop Menstrual Bleeding That Has Already Started?
Question: Hi. I have got my period just now. 1st day of my period. I just want to ask you if i can take pill now to stop bleeding?
Brief Answer:
No, it cannot be stopped
Detailed Answer:
Hi dear, I have gone through your question and understand your concerns.
Once the periods start, it is not possible to stop it as hormonal changes in the body which have led to periods cannot be reverted back once the periods are started.
However, you can decrease the blood flow by taking tranexemic acid tablet 2-3 times a day.
Hope you found the answer helpful. Please do get back for further queries.
Wishing you good health.
