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 developed a small cold on Wednesday and it's been keeping me up all night with coughing. This morning I woke up with pain in my lower abdomen every time I cough. I just got my period today, so I'm wondering if that's why it hurts. Could the coughing be related to my period cramps, or is it something else I should be concerned about?

Persistent coughing can be sometimes problematic which put pressure in your chest and abdomen also which can cause the pain.

I'm kind of curious about something. I've been married for a couple of years, and my husband is really into sucking my nipples for a long time, like almost every day. I do enjoy it, but sometimes it's for like an hour on each breast, and he also pinches one nipple while sucking the other. It's fun, honestly. But here's the thing: I'm wondering if there's a chance I could start producing milk even though I don't have kids yet. Does this kind of stimulation make that possible?

While nipple stimulation can trigger the release of the hormone prolactin, which plays a role in milk production, it typically requires pregnancy or recent childbirth to induce lactation. Without a pregnancy, prolonged nipple stimulation alone may not result in milk production, though it can have temporary effects like increased sensitivity or small amounts of fluid secretion. It's important to consult with a healthcare provider for more personalized advice.
