How to bleed less during your period in a natural way?

Question

So is there any way to bleed less during your period?
I mean in a natural way...
Becaus i really don't feel like being a heavy bleeder, it's not fair that women should have periods and cramps etc while men don't suffer...
It's almost not worth the bleed just to be able to get children ^^
Short facts[]
[] I am 14,9 and I've had my period since I was 13,5
[] I am tall and slender
[] I am a virgin

Any ideas on how to shorten the time or at least make it bleed less?

Natural means are limited...

Healthy diet - better diet will help a lot, even changes to diet leading up to your period will help, make sure you're getting iron to make up for blood loss, magnesium, zinc and calcium for menstrual health, vitamin E to regulate flow, and vitamins A and C to regulate estrogen levels to lessen flow.

Stay stress-free - cramps and flow are effected by emotions, stress is the biggest emotion to effect your periods so avoid it wherever possible, also your feelings towards menstruation makes a difference, women who feel more positive about menstruation not only will be more likely to learn about menstruation so learn how to better cope, but generally do have better periods.

Regulate hormones - if you're in your teens your hormones will be mental, but you can help keep things regulated, diet and generally staying healthy comes into this a lot, but also taking evening primrose oil or black cohosh daily will help a lot too.

Herbal treatments - coffee is a good way to lessen flow as it is a vasoconstrictor so constricts blood vessels in the uterus preventing heavy blood loss. Look into herbal treatments like chaste tree which is well known for helping with heavy flow, also drinking either vitex tea or a women's blend will help.

Menstrual cups - these make periods easier to manage as they can be worn any time of your cycle for up to 12 hours, hold more flow, and don't leak like tampons and pads do. Menstrual cups can also in many cases lessen cramps and menstrual flow.

Women don't have to have cramps, most women can totally prevent them if they only learn how, and as for periods, there's nothing wrong with periods and yes being able to have children is one plus, but also periods can bring other positives such as sex being a lot more enjoyable, and women can experience other positives such as fuller breasts, better concentration, and a whole host of other positives.

Answer 2

every woman is different but you haven't started them THAT long ago so they will still be getting into a regular pattern. you can't stop the bleed but if it is really heavy and lasts for more than a week go tell the doctor and see what they recommend. its life and all women have to go through it

Answer 3

You can't make it bleed LESS. Whatever's in there....IT'S GOTTA COME OUT.
Although someone told me that exercise can help it last a shorter amount of time! I guess that's cause it encourages it all to......empty.

Answer 4

um you could stick a cork up in there
