At Klinik Caring, we understand that every woman’s body and lifestyle are different.
For those who prefer a low-maintenance, reliable, and reversible birth control option, the hormonal injection offers safe and effective protection without needing to remember a daily pill. Our clinic provides professional counselling and administration of contraceptive injections in a private, comfortable setting — guided by experienced female doctors.
What Is a Hormonal Injection?
The hormonal contraceptive injection (commonly known as Depo injection) contains a synthetic form of progesterone, a natural hormone that prevents pregnancy by:
Stopping ovulation (the release of an egg)
Thickening cervical mucus to block sperm
Thinning the lining of the uterus to prevent implantation
Each injection protects against pregnancy for 12 to 13 weeks (3 months).
Who Can Use Hormonal Injections?
Hormonal injections are suitable for women who:
Prefer a long-term but reversible form of contraception
Want a private and simple option that doesn’t require daily pills
Are breastfeeding (safe after 6 weeks postpartum)
Cannot take estrogen-containing contraceptives
Have difficulty remembering daily medication

Possible Side Effects
While most women tolerate the injection well, some may experience:
Irregular bleeding or spotting in the first few months
Lighter or missed periods over time
Temporary weight changes or mild mood changes
These effects usually improve with continued use. Our doctor will guide you on how to manage them and monitor your response.
When to Start
Can be given within 5 days of your period starting for immediate protection
Can also be given after childbirth (after 6 weeks if breastfeeding)
If started at any other time, additional protection (like condoms) may be advised for 7 days
Common Questions
1. How often do I need the injection?
Every 12–13 weeks. We’ll help you keep track and remind you when your next dose is due.
2. What if I want to get pregnant later?
Fertility usually returns within a few months after stopping, though for some women it may take up to a year.
3. Does the injection cause permanent changes?
No. It’s fully reversible once the effect wears off.
4. Will my period stop completely?
Some women experience lighter or no periods after several months — this is safe and reversible. At Klinik Caring, our goal is to help women make informed, confident choices about their reproductive health.
Whether you’re starting birth control for the first time or considering switching methods, our doctors are here to guide you with care and understanding.
