Question 3

my mom is 68 still has period, if she has a d & c will that stop her bleeding permanently could there be something else wrong.

Accepted Answer

Bleeding at 68: No a D&amp;C will not necessarily stop her bleeding, however I doubt she is having periods. She needs to be seen right away by GYN to evaluate this bleeding. I know of several great ones in the area, if you want some suggestions, I'll reply back to you.

Question 4

i'm nineteen years old and i want to stop my period permanently, without medication. how do i go about that? are there any surgical procedures?

Accepted Answer

No: A normal teen girl is supposed to have menstrual periods, so doctors wouldn't permanent stop a normal bodily function. An primary care doctor or an Ob-Gyn doctor can make periods lighter or happen only a few times a year, by using small amounts of medication. Having menstrual periods means a girl's body is doing a normal thing.

Question 5

i want a tubal ligation or anything to stop my period permanently?

Accepted Answer

A tubal won't do it.: Tubal ligation will not stop your period from occuring and may increase the interval frequency by interrupting the blood supply between the ovary and uterus. There are medications and surgeries that can completely arrrest your period. Ask your obgyn md for those alternatives.

Question 6

for the past year, once a month after my period ends i get yeast infections. after my period it'll start off like a burning sensation then yeast will appear. i've taken otc meds to cure it but it'll keep recurring. how to stop this permanently? ?

Accepted Answer

Check blood sugar!: When you develop frequent yeast infections, it is important to find out why.  See your doc and get checked out.  Be sure that you have no problems with your thyroid function or problems regulating your blood sugar that may be causing this. Also get checked for other infections. For now, do not eat meat or dairy products that have hormones or antibiotics in them as these increase human infections.

Question 7

doctor is thinking of putting me on birth control  will my period stop permanently also i sing will it mess up my vocal chords i want to keep my voice

Accepted Answer

Not likely with OCP: Birth control, or "oral contraceptives" in the medical community, are not commonly associated with permanent cessation of your menses (OCP effect is temporary during consistent use), nor are these medications associated with voice changes when used as prescribed. Under different conditions, different hormones (not OCP) can be prescribed to promote vocal changes or other hormonal influences.

Question 8

i want a method to stop my periods permanently?

Accepted Answer

Ablation: This is an in office option which may stop your periods completely, 
could also produce a significant decrease to your current flow.

Question 9

is it reasonable to want a hysterectomy, endometrial ablation, or anything to stop my periods permanently?

Accepted Answer

Maybe, consider risk: A hysterectomy is much too risky to do just to stop normal periods. However, the Mirena (levonorgestrel) iud or depoprovera are low risk birth control methods that are likely to stop periods. An ablation is relatively low risk but does not provide birth control.
