How can you stop a period to go swimming?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Stopping periods: It is safe to swim during a period wearing a tampon. The only way to stop it is to use hormone tablets prescribed from your doctor for several days beforehand. Using injectable contraception , the hormone coated IUD ( mirena) or running the oral contraceptive pills together omitting the sugar pills are other ways to stop periods.
