Current medical status: I think it's a yeast infection; I have swelling, itching, burning, and little tiny bumps that are NOT open or puss filled.
Current medical treatment: I have not seen a physician for this, but have been using monistat, the 3 day treatment, and am 2/3 the way through it.
Given your symptoms you obviously have a vaginal infection but it is hard to say which one without a vaginal examination and tests.
Vaginal yeast infections are treated for 3 days with vaginal suppositories.
It is normal to lose your periods while on depo-shot. People react differently while on depo-shot. Certain people lose their periods while others have irregular cycles and different people may even have regular periods. All those episodes might not be real periods but they could be withdrawal bleeding.
