My girlfriend is in her early 30s and she has to attend a religious retreat and needs to stop her menstruation for a month and a half, is there any medication she can take for this?

Why on earth would she want to stop her natural cycle? I'm sure that some hormone prescription would probably do the trick but I highly doubt that is going to be good for her overall health. This process happens naturally because it is supposed to.

Taking the birth control pill continuously would do it, although she should start a while before she goes on the retreat to make sure she doesn't spot. She should ask her doctor about a monophasic pill and then skip the placebos (sugar pills at the end of the packs), or else Seasonale.
Out of curiosity, what religion offers month and a half long religious retreats and objects to women having their periods during this time? Because frankly that sounds pretty darn demanding on the women.

Birth control pills, but you need to have been taking them for long enough prior for your body to have adjusted.
If it's just for convenience's sake, then that's cool, but any religion that thinks that a woman having her period is unclean or bad, is just wrong!

get on the pill. then skip the placebo pills that u take during the period week and go straight to the next month of pills. then she'll skip that period.
