Using Dr.Karen Toubi’s menses manipulation and menstrual suppression methods, a renowned OB/GYN in Beverly Hills, you get to control your period and it coincides with your happy events so everything goes smoothly.
What is the Purpose of Menses Manipulation?
Controlling your menstrual cycle or simply reducing your period flow can be your savior during important life changes. With a combination of lifestyle changes and medication, you will be able to avoid your menstruation when the situation demands, which way you can still enjoy your milestone moments without having a period-related setback.
The suppression of menstruation is, in addition, an option that patients are going for if they want fewer menstrual periods regardless. There are many different reasons: from the simplicity of not dealing with a period so much, to coping with very or very painful cycles.
What are the benefits?
- Flexibility: Plan your cycle for when you don’t want it to interfere, e.g., you may want to plan when you’ll be on your period so it doesn’t interfere with an important family event or business trip, etc.
- Comfort: Reduce or avoid pain and discomfort if you need a break during a stressful time or event like a job interview, moving into a new home, or traveling abroad for work.
- Peace of Mind: If you don’t have to worry about your period, then you can relax and enjoy yourself without stress at home or abroad.
- Fewer Periods: Menstrual suppression allows patients, who want a solution for a longer time period, to reduce the frequency of her monthly bleeding or possibly even stop totally without the need for hormonal birth control.
Methods Used for Menses Manipulation and Menstrual Suppression
In a highly individualized practice, Dr. Toubi takes into account a patient’s cycle, health status, and goals to tailor the treatment accordingly.
Common methods used are:
- Combining oral contraceptives (extended or continuous usage) refers to skipping the inactive pills pack’s placebo week to delay or stop a period.
- Medications of progestin-only type (like norethindrone) are short-term remedies for the postponement of a menstrual period on a specific occasion or day.
- Patients desiring significantly lighter or absent periods can choose to have hormonal IUDs or implants, which offer long-term menstrual control.
- Patients who want to menstruate only a few times a year instead of monthly are targeted as users of extended-cycle birth control pills.
Which method is best suited to the way you would like to regulate your cycle is going to depend on when you started the preparation, the kind of contraceptive you are already using, and also how your overall state ofhealth looks. Hence, a consultation visit is a necessary initial step when you think of a period-regulating plan.

A Person Who Will Benefit Most from Using the Menstrual Suppression
Globally, most fit individuals with no issues related to taking hormonal therapy are suitable people for menstruation changes. Still, a doctor’s assessment should be done to the level of health conditions like a tendency toward blood clots, high blood pressure that is not controlled or uncontrolled, migraines that are usually accompanied by a sensory disturbance (aura), or specific disorders of the liver. Such disorders could influence the decision on the safest method of birth suppression.
Contraceptive users are generally at great advantage in making use of a period delay for the short time without too much planning, whereas women who are not on contraception are often advised to begin a suitable method a fair bit before the period. This is to give the method ample time to take effect.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I reschedule my period for a vacation or wedding?
Definitely. It is a usual scenario when a person reschedules or even avoids her period to attend travel, wedding and any other events. The way to do it will depend on the current usage of hormonal contraceptives and the amount of time you have to plan ahead.
How long a time ahead should I book a consultation?
In an ideal scenario, several weeks prior to your planned event. Women who are already using contraceptives have more possibilities and a quicker last-minute change, while women who are initiating a new kind of method for the first time will have to prepare more time so that it doesn’t cause any problem and is tolerable.
Is it safe to suppress menstruation?
In the majority of cases, yes. The practice of using birth control pills, hormonal IUDs or other means of menstrual suppression is not dangerous if done correctly and has been in practice for many years. Toubi, MD, will go through your medical history to make sure that she picks the one that is safest and best for your condition.
Can menstrual suppression just be planned around special events, or is it okay to do long-term?
In fact, both are the case. Although some women use menstrual control to get the period only at a special time, regular menstrual suppression can be a permanent solution for patients who desire fewer periods overall, more comfortable or light periods, or even just getting some relief for heavy or pain full periods.
Does menstrual regulation affect my future fertility?
No, it does not. Both menstrual control and suppression are only temporary, the methods one uses do not affect the ability to conceive permanently. One’s usual cycle of ovulation and menstrual bleeding will come back after the method chosen has been terminated.
