Hi,
I understand your concern.
Depo provera is known to cause irregular / varied pattern of bleeding from.. which also stops automatically. You have to observe genital hgygiene & wait for the stoppage.
Depo injection does not have direct effect on digestive tract.. but it does change appetite & leads to weight gain. The bloating can be result of excessive food carving.. which needs to be controlled along with other healthy habits of fiber intake in diet/ lot of water intake ( 3 liters ) / exercises, walking to improve digestion.
Thanks.
