What are the advantages and disadvantages of skin implant contraception?

Patient's question:

Hello doctor, because I already have one child, I don't really want to have a second child, so I want to ask, what are the advantages and disadvantages of skin implant contraception?

Doctor's answer:

The advantages of subdermal implant are effective results with an efficiency of over 99%; long-lasting effects, with one implant providing contraception for up to five years; and minimal side effects. It is also reversible, as removal allows for a quick and complete recovery of fertility.
The disadvantages include some women experiencing irregular periods, extended periods, and increasing menstrual flow during the initial use. In some cases, certain women may also experience amenorrhea after use. These symptoms usually improve gradually after one year of use.
If the gynecological condition is severe, it is recommended that patients seek immediate treatment and follow the doctor's advice for symptomatic treatment. At the same time, proper self-care and a balanced diet should be maintained to avoid worsening the condition.
The above information is hoped to help you. Thank you.
