What Is Depo-Provera?
Depo-Provera is a hormonal contraceptive injection used to prevent pregnancy. It contains a synthetic form of the hormone progestin called depot medroxyprogesterone acetate (DMPA). The shot is administered by a healthcare provider every 12 weeks (about three months), and its primary function is to prevent ovulation, meaning the ovaries do not release eggs. The Depo shot also thickens cervical mucus, which prevents the sperm from reaching the egg.
Depo-Provera is a highly effective form of birth control when used correctly, with a success rate of over 99%. However, it must be taken every three months to maintain its effectiveness.
While Depo-Provera offers convenience and long-lasting protection, it has potential side effects, including:
- Irregular menstrual bleeding
- Weight gain
- Headaches
- Mood changes
One of the more significant risks is a reduction in bone density, which can increase the likelihood of fractures, especially with long-term use. Other possible risks include delayed return to fertility after discontinuing the injection.
However, a recent, very concerning side effect of the Depo-Provera shot is the increased risk of brain tumors. A few recent studies support this claim, including this study published in The BMJ which found an increased risk of meningiomas with prolonged use.
