Contraceptive Methods (Implant)
The implant is a small capsule inserted under the skin of the arm that releases a hormone which suppresses ovulation over a period of three years.
This method is very effective in preventing pregnancy, as the chance of pregnancy with it does not exceed 2 per 1000 women.
The implant may cause some side effects in certain women, including headaches and absence of menstruation.
This method is characterized by not requiring daily remembrance, but its insertion and removal must be performed by a well-trained healthcare provider.
