Decapaptyl: Decapeptyl contains Triptorelin which in women reduces Estrogen levels. It is typically used to reduce symptoms of Endometriosis or recurrence of breast cancer. Since estrogen acts on the endometrium of the uterus, and estrogen sensitive breast cancer, it should decrease or prevent spread and outbreaks. Your menstrual bleeding should not be occurring. Talk to your Dr to investigate causes.
