How do you stop your period immediately?

Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors

There is no safe or effective way to stop menstruation right away, so if you want to delay your period due to an appointment next week or next month, you should talk to your doctor about the best method to delay the onset of your period.

I'm just wondering how long we should wait to be intimate again after my wife had a cesarean operation and underwent family planning. Could you let us know what's a safe timeframe for recovery before we get together?

After a cesarean section and family planning procedure, it is generally recommended to wait at least 6 weeks before engaging in sexual activity. This allows for proper healing and reduces the risk of complications. It is important to follow your doctor's advice and attend any follow-up appointments to ensure everything is healing properly.

I've been experiencing persistent itchiness in my vaginal area after my c-section. My OB-GYN prescribed Candid B, and it helped for a little while, but the itchiness keeps coming back.

I'm really worried because my periods have been irregular since I got married about a year ago. Things were okay for a few months, but then they went off track again. My last period was on February 9th, and now its March, and still nothing. I went to see a gyno on the 13th of March. She did a urine pregnancy test, which came back negative, and she prescribed me some meds like SYSRON-NCR for 10 days and BNC and CLEMENSTOL syrup for a month. Ive taken them, but nothing has changed. On top of that, Im feeling really unwell with body aches, along with severe stomach and waist pain. I want to conceive, but with everything going on, I'm not sure what to do next. Can you give me some advice?
