After bathing, if menstruation stops, it is important to stay warm. If your period seems to have stopped after showering, make sure to keep your body warm and observe for a few more days. If menstruation has lasted three days or more with normal blood flow, there's usually no need to worry if bleeding temporarily stops during or after a shower—it is a completely normal physiological occurrence. Generally, menstrual blood continues to be discharged after bathing; however, if the menstrual blood appears to have completely stopped after showering, it is likely because the woman’s period has simply ended.
