Meningiomas are tumours that develop on the membranes surrounding the brain and spinal cord. Although most are non-cancerous (benign), they can grow large enough to cause significant symptoms and may need to be removed through surgery.

If you've taken Depo-Provera, watch for ongoing symptoms like severe headaches, vision changes, balance problems, memory issues, or hearing loss. These may signal pressure on the brain from a meningioma. If you notice any of these signs, consult a medical professional promptly.

Research suggests that the hormonal components of Depo-Provera may be linked to a higher risk of developing meningiomas, especially with long-term or high-dose use. However, not everyone who uses Depo-Provera will experience this risk. It's important to be informed and discuss any concerns with your healthcare provider.

If you've been diagnosed with a meningioma and have a history of using Depo-Provera, consider a free legal consultation to better understand your rights and available options.
