When considering contraceptive options to stop or reduce menstruation, it's important to note that no method can guarantee a complete cessation of periods in all women. However, some methods are more likely to decrease bleeding than others. The Depo Provera shot and hormonal IUDs like Mirena or Kyleena are commonly used options that can help reduce bleeding over time. It's also important to weigh the benefits of taking the pill against potential risks, such as a slightly increased risk of stroke, especially if you have a history of certain types of migraines. Ultimately, discussing your options with a healthcare provider can help you make an informed decision based on your individual health and preferences.
