Implanon is one of the most effective and popular contraceptive implants today. With only one implant, women can contraceptive for about 3 years without any additional support.
1. What is Implanon contraceptive implant?
Contraceptive rod implantation is a method of using one or more small implants such as matchsticks to implant under the skin of the woman's unfavorable hands for the purpose of contraception.
Implanon is currently rated as the contraceptive with the most outstanding advantages today. Implanon contraceptive implants contain etonogestrel, which requires only a single implant, the contraceptive effect lasts for 3 years. The woman does not need to use any other measures.
2. Mechanism of action of Implanon contraceptive implants
After being introduced into the body, the implants will gradually release the amount of progesterone hormone, which prevents the process of ovulation, giving a prolonged contraceptive effect. The hormones used in contraceptive implants are progesterones: Levonorgestrel or etonogestrel.
3. Pros and cons of Implanon
3.1. Advantages
- Impressive contraceptive effect
The first thing that needs to be mentioned, is the extremely impressive contraceptive effect of implanon: 99.95%. This means that up to 9995 implanon users out of 10,000 will not have an unsymed pregnancy. This ratio is almost equivalent to female sterilization, the only difference is that the ability to conceive after taking implanon will fully and quickly recover after the implant is removed.
- Only need to be implanted once
Other methods of contraception are often influenced by user compliance, i.e. the typical use rate is lower than the theory. Implanon is a rod that is completely uns affected by this factor, only 1 implant and a single implant and women who have finished implanting the rod do not need to do anything more.
Of course, if leaving the implant past the recommended time for implanon is 3 years, then the contraceptive effect will no longer be high.
Implanon is aimed at women who have difficulty taking contraceptive pills or because they often forget to take them. This is also a good method for those who do not tolerate tablets (containing oestrogene and progesteron), people with cardiovascular disease, smoking or do not want to apply the method of placing.
- Wide range of use
The subject of use of implanon contraceptive implants is relatively wide. Mothers who are breastfeeding more than 6 weeks old , women over 40 years of age who have uterine fibroids can safely use Implanon without significant problems.
Cases with cardiovascular risk factors such as smoking, obesity, diabetes or even high blood pressure patients can also use Implanon implants with good effect
Implanon only needs to be placed once, with an implant, which does not require the user to comply. Not having to take medication every day or having to prepare before each time of sex, Implanon also does not affect sex.
- The possibility of pregnancy is restored quickly
After the withdrawal of the implant, the conception recovers quickly and completely.
In addition, women can take the implant whenever you want. If you want to get pregnant again, go to the medical facility, the medical staff will remove the implant for you.
3.2. Disadvantages
Using a contraceptive implant usually causes menstruation in the first few months.
As with some int uterus instruments, implanons need to be located at a medical facility and performed by medical staff trained in how to place and withdraw implants.
After 1 year of use, Implanon often causes inesa horror. In fact, this stage of amality is not a pathology, because the blood does not accumulate in the body. If a woman bleeds less or does not bleed menstruation, this is also beneficial for health, preventing iron deficiency anemia or common in women who regularly exercise a lot. Therefore, according to many experts, this problem is not necessarily a disadvantage when using contraceptive implants.
The technique of implanting implants can be done easily and simply. However, to ensure the safest, women should go to the obstetrics and gynecology department of reputable hospitals to be implanted implanon contraceptive sticks.
