How to stop your period for a few hours ?
4 doctors weighed in across 3 answers
Tampon?: I don't think you can "stop" your period for just a few hours and then start it up again. All you can do is use tampon to stop/absorb flow for short period of time then switch back to sanitary napkin or pad. You can manipulate timing of your periods by adjusting how you take hormonal contraception. Talk this over w/your doc. Helps if you explain why you want to do this so s/he can better help you.

It will stop when...: It will stop when it stops. If it keeps going and going, an ob-gyn doctor can evaluate and help, but there isn't anything to stop a period in just a few hours... Can't think of a reason why that would be necessary in a normal healthy woman.
