instruction: hi doctor I need some advice I had a baby eight and a half months ago one week after she was born I went and got the depo injection I did not get a period at all until 17 days ago and still has not stopped it is very heavy in the morning but light throughout the day please suggest
output: hi do you mean you had only one shot of depot eight and a half months ago in that case its effect is gone it lasts only for three to four months only I hope you are breastfeeding now usually in the postnatal period there is a long phase of no periods then gradually as you reduce breast milk and gradually increase the top feeds the hormones gradually come back to normal so you get periods but still it will not be fully balanced so do not worry about the initial few periods after this long phase of no periods you do not need any medication it will get regularized your next period will be normal if you want to reduce bleeding have tablet tranostat 500 my three to four times a day depending on the severity of bleeding it is not a hormone and has no side effects I hope this helps
