A member asked:

My vagina bleeds every time i penetrate it during masturbation? this never started happening till i began taking depo-provera shots.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Be gentle: The depo shot isn't causing bleeding, but if you are being too vigorous or you are not using lubrication, bleeding may occur due to vaginal abrasion. Use a water-based lubricant and be gentle. See your gyn if that doesnt work.
