My periods are affecting the quality of my life; How can I stop having periods forever?
My period affects my quality of life
I am bothered by the amount of bleeding & the pain that I have during my period
My period makes me feel depressed, tired or moody
My life would improve if I could decrease or completely eliminate my periods
I would like to learn about a simple procedure that can help me take control of my period
I am sure I do not want any (more) children in the future
I cannot use any birthcontrol method due to Chronic Allergies
I did reseach on NovaSure But I still need to be on birthcontrol & I cannot use it
I really need a procedure to help with my periods & something to protect me from having anymore children
Is sterilization my only option or is there another procedure for me

Wow! This sounds like me, only a few months ago!
Yes as you said sterilization is an option, but there is an element of risk with that, plus you never know what your intentions might be in the future, and how they could change.
I suggest see your doctor. I take tablets that are meant for women in the early stages of labour, and these help me no end. I wont say the name, but if you inbox me I will-don't know the restrictions about mentioning drugs on here you see.
As for the amount of flow, yeh you can get tablets for that too, to minize it.
You my be feeling tired/moody due to feeling slightly aneamic-if your flow is very large. Be sure to take iron supplements and drink plenty of water during your period take make up for the blood lost.
Take care, and book that GP appointment-its a very common complaint.

This is a question for your GYN. We are not doctors and we cannot answer a question such as the one you asked with any reasonable certainty.
I only know of two ways a woman's period stops. The first is the natural way when she reaches menopause. The second is through removal of her womb. Her ovaries are usually left intact if possible. This I believe is called a partial hysterectomy.
Some doctors will perform this procedure if there is a history of Cervical cancer in a woman's family and she is sure she does not want any more children. To perform this procedure just to stop menstrual cramps or as a form of birth control; you may not be able to find a doctor willing to do so. Performing a procedure like this on an otherwise healthy women goes beyond the scope of most doctors ethics.

See your GP or try over the counter painkillers that are especially for time of the month pains, obviously they do not do much for your mood, but a lot of the moods women go through are due to the pain a period can cause.
Of course you are bound to feel a bit down if you are trying to get on with your day but the pain is stopping you from doing the simplest of tasks like washing up or a simple shopping trip.
