Is Bleeding With Foul Odor, Normal Post A Depo Shot?
I want to take the time out to thank you for answering my question. In January of this year I took the depo shot for the first time. The first month it was all good, but then near the end of February I started bleeding and have been bleeding since now I have a weird odor, like rotten eggs or passing gas from my stuff anytime I bleed heavily. My question is there a possibilty I have an infection?
Hello and thank you for your question. It is normal to have irregular bleeding sometimes for many months after getting a depo shot. However, the bad odor is not normal and can be a sign of infection. Please see a doctor soon for a pelvic exam and testing for infection. I you have fever for pelvic pain go to the emergency room immediately for treatment.
