A British woman lost sight in one eye due to a rare brain tumor linked to 15 years of using a progesterone contraceptive injection.
A 47-year-old British woman, Shelley Whittaker, lost vision in one eye after developing a rare brain tumor linked to 15 years of using a medroxyprogesterone contraceptive injection.
Diagnosed in May 2025, the benign spheno-orbital meningioma was discovered after persistent blurry vision led to medical tests.
She underwent a 10-hour surgery in September 2025 and now advocates for better awareness of potential long-term risks, as prolonged use of the injection may slightly increase meningioma risk, though such cases are rare.
Health regulators and the manufacturer emphasize ongoing safety monitoring.
