What Causes Onset Of Heavy Menstrual Bleeding While On Depo-Provera?
I have been on depo for three years and never had a period. All of a sudden tonight I go to the washroom and now I am bleeding rather heavy and red. I have been following close with a gyno for the past year and am due for hysterectomy sept 4. What could be causing this and should I be going to hospital

Hello,
Slight menstrual irregularities including heavy bleeding can be seen with depo provera especially on the initial days of usage.
In most of the cases it will settle by itself even without any treatment. If symptoms persists you can consult a gynaecologist and get evaluated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care

Dr. Shinas Hussain
