Pain in the belly button, spotting. On depo shots. Could that be the reason?
Patient: Heya I'm natasha, iv been on the depo conreception injection 2months now and two weeks ago I got a sharp pain under my belly button then started bleeding but it was more like spotting and it was browish pink blood then went red then stopped, then a week after that I got the same pains on the night and the day after sex I started spotting the same blood pattern again. Iv been on the depo and other contreception befroe and never experienced this, do you know what the problem is or some advice on what to do or what might be causing it? Doctor: Hi, Thanks for the query. Depo can cause side effects like pain abdomen, breakthrough bleeding etc. So possibly the bleeding could the side effect of the depo. If the same thing gets repeated, you once consult gynecologist get examined to rule out the possibilities like pelvic inflammatory disease. Then you can go for symptomatic treatment in future if needed. For more details you can ask me through: http://www.healthcaremagic.com/doctors/dr-sree-gouri-sr/63429 Take care.
