Bad Contraception For Bones

Bad Contraception For Bones picWomen who use Depo-Provera, a birth control method that’s given by injection every three months, could be at higher risk of developing osteoporosis than those who use other types of contraception. Depo-Provera appears to reduce estrogen, which plays a crucial part in protecting bone mass.

A recent study of women ages 18 to 39 found that those who used Depo-Provera lost bone mass at the hips at rate of 1.1 percent a year. Those who did not use this birth-control method lost only 0.05 percent bone mass in a year’s time. The good news is that switching to another form of contraception will stop the higher rate of bone loss.

If you wish to use Depo-Provera, ask your doctor if there are steps you can take to counteract this side effect.
