What Causes Flesh Like Vaginal Discharge After Taking Depo Shot?
I started the depo shot on August 10th due to very heavy periods. I have been on my period (1st one since getting the shot) for about 6 days. Yesterday I had some fleshing material that came out and it had what looked like red spots/veins in it. I ve never had this happen before and was wondering if it was normal or if I should be worried. Also, can you tell me what it is?

Hello,
Coagulated blood may happen with periods and is generally no source of concern, especially if you are taking depo-shot.
On the other hand, it is best to seek medical advise and have a gynecological examination done. If you have not had a pap smear in the last 2 years, this might be a good occasion to have it done.
I hope this answers your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
