I want it gone period?

Question

I am not physically going to have kids because I am going to adopt, so I don't really need my period.

Is there any way to get rid of it that will not harm my body? I have seen adds on tv and some look neat, but then they say all the risks at the end and I'm completely turned off from those.

I would be the happiest person in the world if I never had to have a period ever again (who wouldn't be?!) so are there any ways? I heard on the news a while back that there is a new birth control that takes away your period completely as long as you take the pills every day. Anyone heard of it? Is is safe or harmful for your body?

Answer 1

to get complete and accurate advise, you need to see a physician. They will more than likely advise you against it. Ethically, they may be bound by law not to perform such a procedure. having a period is a minor inconvenience compared to taking hormones with high risk factors for the rest of your life. It's really not nice to fool with mother nature.

Answer 2

All birth control pills stop your period. The only reason some don't is that the doctor prescribes a very small dosage, or you are given placebo pills for 5 days to let a period happen. Sounds like a good option for you would be a birth control patch.

Answer 3

There is a birth control that will allow you to have your period four times a year, but not never. Your body needs to have a menstral cycle at least four times a year. The only physically healthy way to not have a period would be a hysterctomy and I don't think you'll find a good doctor that will give you one just because you don't want your period, but you can try.

Answer 4

Haven't you heard "You can't fool mother nature"?

Yes, periods are a royal pain, but it is something that women have to deal with.

In the first place, I think you would have a difficult time finding a legitimate, ethical doctor who would perform this type surgery on a normal, healthy female.

With that said, if (a big if) you did find a doctor, you would be letting yourself in for premature hot flashes, weight gain, a thickening waistline, thinning hair, dryer skin, etc. Why do you think most of us lose our waistlines and gain a bigger stomach after menopause?

I'm glad not to have to deal with periods anymore, but I miss my flat stomach. Exercise? Yes, I do, daily, but no amount of exercise seems to flatten the stomach.

Give it some more thought.

Answer 5

Using hormonal birth control pills to skip periods is generally safe. You can use any monophasic combined contraceptive (including the nuva ring and other contraceptives besides the advertised seasonalle). You may experience the normal side effects of birth control but, the pills are generally agreeable. (I love them by the way!). It's very safe to skip your periods and does not effect your fertility (not that you care) Talk to your doctor about getting contraceptive with the intent to skip your periods long term.

Answer 6

I really don't think you want that cause your body is suppose to dispose of all that liquid. And with time you will be so BLOATED. Anyway the best way to get your answer would probably be to ask someone with expertise like a doctor or something. This is your health you are talking about so take it seriously and best of luck.
