Hello,

Depo-Provera does not cause vaginal smell or vaginal discharge. It could be something else probably some fungal infection or thrush.You can go for a vaginal swab to make a diagnosis. As of now you can use Clotrimazole vaginal lotion for symptomatic relief. Proper treatment has to be started after getting vaginal swab report.

Hope I have answered your query.
