Contraceptive implants

Contraceptive implants are small, flexible rods inserted under the skin of a woman's arm to prevent pregnancy. They release a hormone called progestin, which stops ovulation, thickens cervical mucus, and thins the uterine lining. This method is highly effective, providing protection for up to three years, and can be easily removed by a healthcare provider if desired. Implants are a discreet and convenient option, requiring no daily attention, and can be a good choice for those seeking long-term contraception without the need for pills or other methods.
