How Can I Stop The Brown Discharge After Being On Depo Shot?

I have been off the depo shot for 7 months and throughout those 7 months I have had brown discharge every single day. Is there a way to stop this discharge. It is medium brown color , has an oder and is heavy enough for a pad. The OBGYN says its normal but how can I stop this?!!

Hi,
Thanks for the query.
After stopping the depo, it may take some time for regularization of hormonal levels.
That may be responsible for your brown discharge.
Usually this discharge will subside soon.
But having discharge for seven months is somewhat abnormal.
So, once go for ultrasound and coagulation profile.
These will help in ruling out any abnormality.
If no abnormality is detected, you can take anti fibrinolytic drugs to control the brown discharge with your doctor's advice.
If the discharge still persists, you may need hormonal pills for one month to regularize the cycles.
Take care.
