A member asked:
Is there a way to decrease blood flow during your period without birth control?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: The amount of flow you have is determined by your own hormone stimulation of the womb and the tissue it builds in response. You don't change that with anything other than competing hormones unless you are ready for a hysterectomy or ablation which ends your ability to get pregnant.
