contraceptive arm
The contraceptive arm refers to a method of birth control that involves the insertion of a small rod under the skin of a woman's upper arm. This rod releases hormones that prevent pregnancy for an extended period, typically up to three years. It works by inhibiting ovulation (the release of eggs) and thickening cervical mucus to block sperm. The procedure is quick and can be done in a doctor's office. Once removed, fertility usually returns quickly. It's a convenient and highly effective option for those looking to prevent pregnancy without daily attention.
