How long does subdermal implant contraception last

Patient's question:

I already have a child and don't want to have another for now. Taking oral contraceptives or using condoms is quite troublesome. My husband is also not very happy and often complains. Every day, I live in fear, truly afraid of accidentally getting pregnant. How long does the skin implant contraceptive surgery last?

Doctor's answer:

Subdermal implant contraception is still quite convenient for those who want to avoid pregnancy. You and your husband might consider it. This is a minor surgery and there's no need to worry too much. Subdermal implant contraception is a new method of birth control that has already been developed and used worldwide. This method involves placing a certain dose of progestogen into a silicone capsule tube, which is then deeply implanted under the skin to slowly release a small amount of progestogen, thereby providing contraceptive effects.
