Question
does depo proverb cause sickness meaning pre cancer cells or anything else?
Answer
Not sure what you mean by causing "sickness" or "precancerous cells." Depo provera is not associated with an increase of cancer rate for patients. Depo provera, if taken more than 2 years in a row, may decrease bone density temporarily in patients, but after stopping use, bone density returns to normal.
