Is there a way to permanently stop your period?

The only way to permanently stop your period is to have a hysterectomy, which involves removal of the uterus. However, a doctor will not do this unless they have cause (like cancer of the uterus or rupture during pregnancy, labor or c-section). The chances of getting a hysterectomy are very low. There are birth control options with will stop or dramatically decrease your period. Depo provera is one option. It is a shot given 4 times a year and, for many women, it stops your period. There are also pills which, if taken correctly, can allow you only 4 periods a year. These all can be discussed with your dr. I must add though that, if you plan on having kids in the future, I highly advise that you do not stop your period. Your monthly cycle keeps you healthy. I also must add, despite what the previous answer written here was - getting your tubes tied does not stop your period and it does not stop menopause. I believe removal of your ovaries would actually put you into early menopause, stopping your periods but that comes with risks. No matter what you decide, know that stopping your period will increase your chances of osteoporosis. So, if you are still growing, just tough it out for a while.
