USES OF DEPO-PROVERA INJECTION
BENEFITS OF DEPO-PROVERA INJECTION
In Contraception
Depo-Provera Injection contains an injectable synthetic hormone that behaves like the natural hormone progesterone. This hormone stops you from getting pregnant in multiple ways. Firstly, it prevents an egg from being released from your ovaries. Secondly, it makes the fluid (mucus) in your cervix thicker, which makes it more difficult for sperm to enter the womb. Additionally, it prevents the thickening of the lining of your womb, thereby making it unfavorable for an egg to grow in it. Depo-Provera Injection is a reliable and safe method for short-term contraception if used correctly. It does not interrupt with sex and is an effective contraception method for around 3 months (13 weeks) after which you need to visit the doctor for another injection.
SIDE EFFECTS OF DEPO-PROVERA INJECTION

HOW DEPO-PROVERA INJECTION WORKS
Depo-Provera Injection is a progestin (female hormone). It works by preventing an egg from developing fully and being released from the ovaries during your menstrual cycle. It also alters the lining of your womb and thickens the mucus at the entrance of the womb, making it more difficult for the sperm to enter. This prevents pregnancy.
