Many women may want to shorten their periods or stop them altogether because they experience painful periods. If your pain is so bad that it stops you from completing normal daily tasks then you don’t have to live with it, you can talk to your GP about your period symptoms. They may be able to offer you advice and treatment to help relieve your symptoms. There are many ways that you can skip, shorten or stop your periods, whether you chose to take medication or try a more natural way.

How to shorten your period

There are many ways that you can shorten your periods, and as you age you may notice that your periods naturally shorten in length.

If you want a short period you can try:

• Taking hormonal birth control – these pills can help to regulate your cycle as well as shortening the amount of days your period lasts for.
• Having sex or masturbating – this can help to reduce cramping and lighten your menstrual flow, as orgasms cause the uterine muscles (in the womb) to contract, helping to move blood out of your uterus.
• Not using tampons – tampons can stop the internal flow of your menstrual blood which can make your period last longer. Try sanitary towels instead.
• Taking over the counter nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) – aspirin, ibuprofen and naproxen can help to reduce period pains while lightening your menstrual flow.
• Exercising regularly – read our exercise guide for ideas.
