Posted on Thu, 23 Jan 2025
Question: I heard last Depo injection in Jan & was suposed to go back in April but didn't. I started seeing something like menstruation in May (dark, blood) but it's not consistent.When I go to the toilet I would menstruate & then use a pad but it'll only have spots. This has been happening for more than 2 weeks now.What's causing this? i just want to menstruate normally. Please help it's very frustrating.

Brief Answer:
Do an ultrasound.

Detailed Answer:

Hello,

I think you need to get checked by a gynecologist because this prolonged spotting is not much normal. I think you may need to do at least an ultrasound to check your endometrial lining and uterus myomas or other issues.

Hope I have answered the question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
