Brief Answer:
Progesterone will help.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
Progesterone or a combined oral pill can help in stopping the period or bleeding if it is due to a hormonal disturbance. But it is advisable not to self medicate yourself. Do take these hormonal tablets only after consulting your gynecologist.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
