why does your period stop when you take a shower?

Blood doesn't pour out of you when you have your period. It's just a very slow trickle. In just a few minutes, shower or no, nothing will likely come out.

Nope, Mother nature decides when and how long your period lasts. Sorry.

Sometimes when you are under a lot of stress your period lasts longer. Sometimes that happens to me. Or it could have been a miscarriage you didn't know about.

Periods can fluctuate.  You can also trick yourself into thinking that your pregnant. \n\nDon't worry.  Sometimes your body doesn't take as long for a period as it does on other times.  If you've had some really stressful stuff happen, your body might have cut it short.  \n\nSometimes, when you're consistently having really short or too frequent periods, you're not ovulating.  If you keep having problems talk with your doctor.\n\nHe can give you a prescription for a few days worth of progesterone to jump start your uterus and get it back on track and more regular.  But only bother doing that if you consistently have problems with your period.

I don't know why, but USUALLY it slows enough while you are in water that it virtually stops. However, it doesn't always stop (trust me, been there). Your best bet if you are going swimming is to use a tampon. Better safe than sorry.

If you have sex and your period stops this is not due to cancer... it is probably because you have irregular periods are because youb are pregnant.\nI have never heard of sex causing cancer... this is some kind of crazy urban myth like that guy who ate 600lbs of raw fish ever day for a year and never gained an ounce in weight.

Sorry, you period is your period, not like a can of fixed soup that you can reheat a different day.\nCan't stop it kiddo.\n\nBut I used to swim ALOT!! \nDuring those times, take some Tylenol Xtra Strength and\nUse a xtra Absorbent tampon! You should be just fine!\n(I always was!!)\n\nGood Luck with your Exam little fish!\nSmileyCat : )

Well you skipped just one period. That happens to me sometimes, but I just got mine like two years ago. It usually happens when I am very active or something. So maybe your body just shifted its timing  or something. but if it worries you, just see a doctor.

Because it's very convenient....\na) don't want to get cold from getting out the shower\nb) it makes the toilet seat wet\nc) it goes down the drain, and hurts no one\nd) sometimes, early in the morning, it's much easier for a tired soul like me\n:)

You are obviously stressing about it. Stress can delay your period.

You do not want to stop getting your period. Your body needs to release the lining (the blood that comes out). If that lining does not get released, there could be serious reprocussions such as cervical cancer.

Whenever I'm in the shower. I get the urge during the morning and the evening considering I sometimes take 2 showers a day, but I rarely fulfill that urgency - I have an incredible boyfriend.

A lot of it may be how well hydrated you are. It's hard to drink too much water and easy to drink too little, so drink often! Women often vary wildly around the times of their periods; many women become very dry just before or right at the start of their period. Some of it may be mood, too. If you're not super into it or aren't feeling it (maybe you woke up on the wrong side of the bed) you're not likely to be as wet as when you're at 100%.

Either your hormones haven't worked themselves out enough to regualte your period, or you may be upping your bra size a cup or two! Either way, this is natural; it's all part of puberty.

A period is the time in the menstrual cycle that women experience the flow of bleeding and uterine tissue out of the body.  This occurs if fertilization of the ovum did not take place, so the body needs to shed the excess tissue that built up in preparation in case fertilization did occur.
