Question : Prolong spotting from Nov 25 to now. While on birth control depo provera

Answered by Dr. Dr. Prasad J (1 hour later)

Brief Answer:
Common with provera...

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Prolong spotting is sometimes seen in patients using depo provera. However it is important that other causes are ruled out. I recommend visiting your doctor. A pelvic examination and an ultrasound scan is warranted.

If tests are normal, then you will be treated with tranexamic acid pills to stop bleeding.

Hope this helps. Let me know if you need clarifications.

Regards
