What Is The Cause Of Bleeding?
I got the depo shot recently for birth control but i've noticed i haven't stopped bleeding since its been effective. should i get the shot again and maybe my body will be use to it and i will stop bleeding. Or will i continue to bleed with my 2nd shot.

Hello,
I have gone through your query and understood the concern. When you use hormone contraception, menstrual irregularities are often observed as the body adjusts itself to the new hormone milieu. This takes a couple of cycles. However, prolonged bleeding should be evaluated and managed properly. In the current scenario, you have to take the advice of your health care provider and plan further management. I do not suggest another dose. Instead, you may need to manage the bleeding with styptics and if necessary, hormone course. Hope this helps.
