how can you stop from having a period, iv had stomache ache for 3 days and it hurts and noticed on the second day of the pain i started my period again, and constant bleeding is the usual? i really want to be off my period forever is that possible ?

You should talk to your mom about getting some over the counter medicine for your cramps like Midol. You say "constant bleeding", but I'm not sure how long you are talking about. Periods normally last from 3-6 days and should happen every 28-32 days-ish, but every woman is a little different. You can also try a heating pad for cramps. Exercise helps too, even just stretching or some yoga.

Unfortunately, there is no way to permanently get rid of your period until you get old and have menopause. If the pain is severe, you may want to talk to your mom or a doctor about a birth control pill. The pill can regulate your periods and make them less painful. I'm not sure how old you are, so I'm not sure if that's an option.

u can have a full hysterectomy that would put you right into menopause, but history shows us that to mess with mother nature is to invite more serious problems.  woMAN up and embrace it, fight it and you'll more than likely end up with heart disease, cervical or ovarian cancer, the list goes on and on.

The only way that would be possible is if you had a total hysterectomy where your uterus and overies were completely removed, which is a pretty dramatic and major surgery and not something you want to do if you ever want children!
Periods is our bodies way of flushing out the eggs that weren't fertilized. Our bodies release eggs every month when we ovulate and if one is not fertilized then the blood comes and flushes out the eggs. It's part of being a woman, whether we like it or not. :)

I don't know how long you've been having periods but those first few years can be an adjustment until our bodies get used to it. They can be sporadic, heavy and/or painful. Sometimes that continues and some of us have more painful periods than others. There are a few things you can try. Take Midol or Motrin those first few days. Try resting with a heating pad against your lower abdomen. That can really help! Warm baths can be soothing.

You may want to mention this to your doctor and try getting on the pill, just to regulate your periods. It's not always just for birth control or because you're sexually active. The birth control pill can regulate your periods (make them more regular), they can help lighten the heaviness of a period and make them less painful.
If you've tried everything else and nothing is really working, ask your doctor to prescribe the birth control pill for you and try that. There are many good ones, even low hormone ones with fewer side effects. Some side effects from the pill can be nausea, slight weight gain, headaches, but generally disappear after a few months after your body has adjusted to the pill, and not everybody gets side effects anyway.
It may be worth looking into. Best wishes.
