Depo-Provera, a contraceptive injection containing medroxyprogesterone acetate, is not directly linked to causing cervical dysplasia. However, some studies suggest that long-term use of hormonal contraceptives may influence the risk of cervical changes, particularly in women with persistent human papillomavirus (HPV) infections. Regular cervical screenings and HPV vaccinations are recommended for women, regardless of contraceptive use, to monitor and prevent cervical dysplasia.
