- You can shower on any day of your period, but the best time is usually the second or third day of the cycle; Because the body is out of the initial shock state and taking a shower can help reduce pain and improve your general condition. Be sure to follow the hygiene tips.
- No, taking a bath will not stop your period. It may only temporarily decrease blood flow because warm water relaxes the muscles and reduces uterine contractions. Please note that this is a temporary stop and the period will continue normally after some time.
