Hi,
Thanks for the query.
Hormonal injections can lead to irregular menstrual cycles.
The spotting your friend is having could be due to that.
Usually this type of spotting will subside soon.
If the spotting persists, let her consult gynecologist once and get examined.
There is possibility of oral or esophageal infection due to swallowing the discharge.
If you have symptoms like throat irritation etc, better to consult ENT surgeon once.
If you are not having any symptoms, no need to worry.
Take care.

Hello
Thanks for writing to us with your health concern.
After the Depo shot, mild spotting is common.
See, cunnilingus or oral sex is a personal choice.
Swallowing the bloody discharge is not dangerous.
If you and your partner have had STD screening , do not worry.
It is not unheatlhy also.
ALthough some people might consider it unhygienic.
It could put her at risk of infection, as sex, particularly, oral sex whilst the bleeding is on, can lead to infections.
It is better to wait until the spotting stops.
Take care.
