Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
i was on depo provera for six months and the last one was on last January 2011 and it caused me continuous bleeding since i started to take it for more than 15 months i saw my doctor many times and she did not give me any medicine just said that this is normal due to this injection. please help me to treat this continuous bleeding. thanks
Thank you for asking! The reason your doctor did not give you any medicine because he is right. Depo provera does that and there is nothing you can do about it it is innocuous unless used for chonic as that increase the odds for malignancy.If it bothers you try some other contraceptive techniques. Depo will keep doing it . Take care
