Depo-Provera and Hair Loss

I took the depo shot for 3 years, but I haven’t taken it in 7 years and now I’m having hair loss. Could it be from the shot? I did have it after I had my baby 7 years ago.

The use of such medications may contribute to the onset of genetic balding. The mechanisms are not clear, but once the process starts, it is possible that it may not reverse. This would explain the persistence of some thinning over time.
