You generally cannot safely stop a period for just one night
Use a menstrual cup, tampon, or period underwear to manage flow overnight
Take an NSAID such as ibuprofen or naproxen only if it is safe for you and you follow the label or your clinician’s advice
Ask a clinician about hormonal options if you want to delay your period in the future
Do not use unproven home remedies or insert anything into the vagina to try to stop bleeding
Seek urgent medical care if bleeding is very heavy, you feel faint, or you have severe pain
