Treatment for bleeding on depo

How to stop breakthrough bleeding on depo?
( 9 Sep 2007)

Bleeding is one of the common side effects of Depo-Provera administration and many women fail to handle this side effect of this contraception method. Consult a specialist who may advise you some other mild hormones to stop break through bleeding caused due to Depo-Provera. Other options could include –
  • Reducing the intervals between the next sessions of Depo-Provera injections.


  • Increasing the dose first (for 2-3 sessions) and then decreasing it to normal.
  • Adding estrogen in mild doses to stop bleeding.
  • However all these methods should be done under the guidance and supervision of an health care professional.
