Can Stand users de-summon their Stand whenever they want?

Question

In JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, I've been wondering why, when a person's Stand is getting hit, they don't just unsummon it.

If you felt like you were being punched in the stomach, I don't think you would be able to run. Simply, the answer is no, because you would be in pain.

It is similar to stands, as stands are a physical manifestation of the soul, and they're practically just 'another body'.

Also removing your stand in the middle of a fight would be suicide.

For example, Hanged Man and Emperor did damage to people's actual bodies without touching their stands.

You could, but in a fight, it may feel extra painful to do so.

Maybe if a stand has hold of another stand, I do not believe it can be taken back.

Example 1: Kakyoin's Hierophant Green stuck in Strength in Part 3.

They can't de-summon it mid-combat for, well, y'know, reasons. I don't think you'd be able to just 'abracadabra' something connected to your body for spiritual reasons.

It's like stand users using their stand abilities, they have to consciously use it without being distracted.

TLDR: no because funny brain
