Implant contraceptives

Implant contraceptives are small, flexible rods about the size of a matchstick that are inserted under the skin of your upper arm by a healthcare provider. They release a steady, low dose of progestin hormone, which prevents pregnancy by thickening cervical mucus to block sperm and sometimes stopping ovulation. The implant is highly effective, with a typical lifespan of up to 3 years, and offers a reversible, long-term birth control option without daily commitment. Most women experience minimal side effects, making it a convenient choice for reliable contraception.
