Question : I’ve been on Depo for two months and last month the shot started to wear off and I started to bleed, then I went and got the shot while I was bleeding and now it’s been well over a month and I have brown discharge with a odor. I was wondering if this was normal?

Detailed Answer:

Hi,

If it is the discharge with odor then probably you have some infection. If you do not have itching wait for a week wash the vaginal area with betadine wash. If still the odor persists then kindly consult the gynecologists.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards
