Depo-Provera Side Effects: Acne, Weight Gain & PCOS - Potential Link?


Question
since my daughter had the contraceptive injection a few years ago for a brief period, her acne has become terrible, her weight  elevated by 60 pounds and periods stopped, she has now been told that she has poly cystic ovaries, i am convinced that the injection was the cause.could this be the case?

Answer
It is impossible to attribute direct causes to many health and sickness conditions on an individual basis. For example, if a woman gets breast cancer, would she say it was her age, her family genetics, her diet, or some other reason? Your daughter certainly should be under the care of a physician. It is very difficult to be able to say what caused her current conditions.
