A member asked:

If you just got on the depo-provera shot can that cause for you to have pains in your breast?

Specializes in Family Medicine

Yes: Any hormone therapy can have effect on breast tissue. Even though the shot is of medroxyprogesterone, it could still cause breast discomfort. Ibuprofen should help, and if it persists, see your physician.
