Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
There is no way to stop the periods midway once it has started. With the help of medicines, the amount of bleeding can be reduced but the treatment will take at least 72 hours to produce its effect.
Hope this answers your query. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Please accept my answer in case you do not have further queries.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
Dr. Rakhi Tayal.
