Could Yellow Discharge After Provera Shot Be A Matter Of Concern?
About 5 days ago I got the depo provera shot and two days after I started experiencing a dirty yellow discharge with blood in it. The next day the discharge got darker and now the it is brown and fills up a panty liner. Should I be worried bcause I ve never experience discharge this frequent and this color.
Hello, Welcome to HCM. I can understand your problem. Spotting & white discharge after depo provera is common side effect of this contraceptive. In your case also, it looks like usual side effect. But it is wise to rule out other problems. Here you should also think of candida or other bacterial infections. In these cases, discharge would be curdy white or foul smelling and would usually accompanied with lower abdominal pain and fever. In absence of such symptoms, you should consider it usual side effect of depo provera. Hope this will be helpful. I would be happy to answer if any further question is there. Thanks for using HCM. Take care.
