A member asked:
Does the depo-provera shot cause early menopause or ovarian damage?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Usually not: Depo Provera (medroxyprogesterone) causes ovarian suppression and ovulation. It can cause you not to have a cycle and experience symptoms similar to menopause. Depo does not cause actual menopause or ovarian damage.
