What causes stomach ache after Depo injection contraception?

This Premium Q&A, reviewed and published, features a real conversation between an iCliniq user and a physician.

Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I am on the Depo injection contraception, and before this, I have been getting heavy periods, cysts, and belly aches every day. Now, I am on the injection. I have been fine, but lately, I have not been feeling well, and my tummy started hurting again. I suggested to the doctor that I think it could be endometriosis. Please help.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I can understand your concern.

Yes, this can be endometriosis. It is better to get done ultrasound lower abdomen and hormonal reports to rule out hormonal imbalance. You will need hormone pills to regulate hormones.

Hope I have solved your query.

I will be happy to help you further.

Wish you good health.

Thanks.
