What Does Brown Discharge And Diarrhea After Depo Shot Indicate?

Okay, I m on the Depo, its a birth control shot, and well I ve been on it for a year already but my period has barely been coming out as brown and super thick, like diarrhea coming out of me but its like as if its normal vaginal discharge with the abnormal brown color. Its seriously starting to freak me out because I don t understand why this is happening and I find it really disgusting. Its as if its not even blood anymore.

Hello.

With the use of depo comes a possibility of many side effects including inter-menstrual bleeding, menstrual irregularities, frequent or infrequent bleeding, change in amount of bleed or even consistency and color, etc.

You seem to be experiencing exactly the same thing. I would not really say that this is a cause for concern as this can be expected. But if at all you are not comfortable with this then I would recommend a revisit to your doctor who may direct you towards a more amicable and comfortable solution or alternative.

Best wishes
