Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I am a 20-year-old female. I am currently on a depot injection. I bleed heavily when I have sex and while I masturbate. Could it be due to depot injection?

Kindly help.

Answered by Dr. Pandian. P

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Thank you for your query.

This problem may be due to hormonal imbalance, anemia, thyroid problems, or infection of either the urinary tract or pelvic floor response. Kindly do the following tests.

  1. PT (prothrombin time) and coagulation profile.
  2. Thyroid profile.
  3. Hemoglobin level and peripheral smear study.
  4. Pap smear of vaginal discharge for microbiology and others like cervicitis.
  5. Speculum examination by gynecologist for abrasion.
  6. Ultrasound of abdomen and pelvis.
  7. You may need antibiotics, analgesics, and antihistamines along with douching of the vagina with an antiseptic solution and vaginal pessary or ointment for 5 days.

I hope this has helped you. Thank you.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
