Hi,

Abdominal cramps or pain can occur with Depo shots but diarrhoea is unlikely especially after 3 months. Other causes such as gastroenteritis which refers to inflammation of digestive tract. Infections can cause loose stools.Fever,recent travel history should be ruled out. Increase fluid intake and pro-biotics intake. In case of severe infections,antibiotics should be used.

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

Regards,
Dr. Saranya Ramadoss, General and Family Physician
