Hi,

Depo shots contain progesterone hormone which can lead to prolonged amenorrhea, irregular spotting and bleeding, gaseous distension and bloating. An ultrasound of the whole abdomen is recommended to rule out any other cause of pain. Further treatment should be done accordingly.

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

Hi,

Depo causes the endometrial atrophy that leads to missed periods. It also decreases the gonadotropins that lead to missed periods. Anovulation.
