It is important to note that there are no guaranteed ways to make a period arrive faster. However, there are some things that people can try to make their period come faster, such as:
-
Hormonal contraception: Using hormonal contraception, such as birth control pills or the ring, is the only reliable method of taking control of the menstrual cycle. People can stop taking the hormonal pill early to make their period come earlier.
-
Exercise: Some people find that doing exercise can bring on the period a little faster. Light stretching or yoga may help loosen up abdominal muscles and encourage the period to start.
-
Relaxation methods: Trying relaxation methods, such as yoga, meditation, deep breathing, or hot baths, can help reduce stress levels and encourage the period to start.
-
Orgasm: Having an orgasm may help kickstart menstruation.
-
Diet: Eating certain foods, such as papayas, buttermilk, curd, rice, bananas, pineapples, peaches, pomegranate juice, dates, sugarcane juice, parsley leaves, gram lentils, carrots, spinach, carom seeds/bishop’s weed or fenugreek seeds, sesame seeds with hot water, ginger juice mixed with jaggery, and turmeric powder with hot water, may help make the period come faster.
It is important to note that the research around natural remedies for inducing menstruation is limited, and none of these methods are guaranteed to work. If someone is experiencing a delayed or missed period caused by an underlying condition, it is unlikely to resolve without treatment. If someone has concerns or questions about their menstrual cycle, they should speak to their doctor.
