Brownish Discharge After The Use Of Depo Shot. What Is Happening?

Hi. I ve been on depo for about a year now & I ve been spotting for like the last month but the blood never leaks except for when I wipe myself after using the restroom . But I took my bath rag and tried to clean the inside of my vagina and there was a lot of brown discharge inside the walls of my vagina . Could you help me understand what s going on ?

Hi,
Thanks for the query.

Brown discharge, inter menstrual spotting etc. can occur as a side effect of depo shot.
So the brown discharge due to depo shot might have collected inside the vagina.
Usually these type of symptoms will subside soon.
If you continue to have these things better to consult gynecologist once and get examined.
Take care.
