Will Discontinuing Depo-Provera Injection Cause Menopause?
Hi, I have been on the depo provera shot for the past 7 years. I had been experiencing some hot/cold feelings and asked a doctor if i could be going through menopause. he said that I would not go through menopause while I was on the depo shot. So I just wanted to confirm this is true and if it is will I go through menopause when I come off the shot which I may not do for a few more years? Thanks

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
The Depo shot induces medical menopause that is reversible when you stop it. If you are at menopausal age, when you stop Depo, it doesn't have a medical origin instead a natural origin.
Hope I have answered the question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
