Advice to stop Menses

Menses or menstruation, is the monthly bleeding that a women experiences. This usually starts when a girl attains puberty- that is, anytime between 11 years to as late as 15 years. The duration of the period varies from woman to woman and is usually between 3 and 6 days.


Every month the inner lining of your uterus is shed. The discharge that you notice during the days when you have your monthly menstruation is part blood and part tissue from your uterus. Most women continue to menstruate till they reach middle age. Menstruation usually lasts till the age of 51 though some women continue menstruating for a couple of years beyond this. This stage is called Menopause.
    
Your question is a bit confusing, since it is not clear if you require help to permanently stop your period or if you require advice on stopping your period for the present. Menstruation is controlled by your body and when it begins and when it stops is something that only your body can decide.

If you are suffering from heavy periods then it is advisable to visit a doctor since there are a variety of reasons to account for this. Similarly if you notice any irregularities in your period patterns then it is a good idea to visit your doctor.
