Injectable Birth Control Linked to Higher Risk of Brain Tumors
- Long-term use of injectable birth control like Depo-Provera is linked to a significantly higher risk of brain tumors, especially meningiomas
- Women who started injections after age 30 faced dramatically higher risks, with increases ranging from 175% to 277% depending on age group
- A French study found women using injectable birth control for more than a year were over five times more likely to need brain tumor surgery
- Unlike synthetic hormone shots, options such as barrier methods and fertility awareness carry no increased risk of brain tumors
- Natural progesterone supports your body's balance by countering excess estrogen, calming your nervous system, and protecting long-term brain health
