Hello,

I think you a total gynecological examination including a pap smear, colposcopy and ultrasound. Being on depo shot can give you bleeding and spotting but the fact that it started right after abortion it may be more complicated.

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

Regards,
Dr. Olgeta Xhufka, General & Family Physician
