Norplant

Norplant is a form of long-term birth control that consists of small, flexible rods implanted under the skin of the upper arm. These rods release a steady amount of a hormone called progestin, which prevents pregnancy by thickening cervical mucus to block sperm and thinning uterine lining to prevent implantation. The device is effective for up to five years and is reversible—fertility typically returns after removal. Norplant offers a convenient, low-maintenance option for contraception, suited for women seeking long-term, discreet birth control without daily attention.
