Depo Provera Meningioma Signs and Symptoms

People who use the chemical birth control shot Depo Provera are more likely to get meningiomas

Thursday, September 26, 2024 - The meninges are the layers that cover the brain and spinal cord. Meningiomas are growths that happen in these layers. Meningiomas are generally not dangerous, but when they are in the brain, they can be very bad for your health. A new study shows that people who use the chemical birth control shot Depo-Provera are more likely to get meningiomas. People who take Depo-Provera need to know what meningiomas look like and how they might be connected to the drug. Meningiomas can show up in a lot of different ways, based on where they are and how big they are. Small meningiomas may not show any symptoms in the early stages, and they may not be found for years. It could start to press on the brain or spinal cord, though, as the growth gets bigger. This could lead to a number of neural issues. A meningioma is often found when you have headaches that won't go away. Over-the-counter pain relievers may not help with these headaches as they get worse. People who have been taking Depo-Provera for a long time and have headaches that are getting worse or new headaches should see a doctor. Having trouble seeing is another sign of a meningioma, especially if the growth is close to the nerves that give you sight. Trouble seeing, like fuzzy vision, seeing double, or losing some of your vision, is a sign. At first, these changes might happen slowly, so you might not notice them. There are times when people may also have trouble seeing or eye pain. Vision problems can be a sign of a number of different health problems, so people who are taking Depo-Provera and are having these problems should get a full medical check to rule out other causes.

Should meningiomas' dangers not be adequately disclosed, plaintiffs may wish to consult a Depo Provera brain tumor attorney and file a Depo-Provera meningioma lawsuit.

Seizures can also be caused by brain growth. It's possible for the seizures to be mild and short, or they could be worse. If someone has never had seizures before but starts having them after taking Depo-Provera, they should probably get a full brain exam. It's very important to find a meningioma early so that the growth doesn't damage the brain or other parts of the body forever. Not only can these nerve signs change how your brain and body work, but meningiomas can also do it. Some patients say they forget things, have trouble focusing, and their moods change. Most of the time, these mental symptoms aren't too bad at first, but they can get worse as the growth grows. It's possible for the growth to weaken limbs, make it hard to walk, or make it hard to coordinate your movements if it presses on parts of the brain that control movement.Those who have been taking Depo-Provera for a long time should pay extra attention to these signs. Hormone-sensitive meningiomas may be more likely to happen if you use Depo-Provera for a long time, especially if you use it for more than five years. In Depo-Provera, you can find progestin, which is a man-made version of the hormone progesterone. Some kinds of meningiomas may grow faster with this. Talk to your doctor about the risks of Depo-Provera for birth control if you have a history of brain tumors or other things that put you at risk.
