Contraceptive Implant and IUD Insertion

Contraceptive Implant & IUD Insertion

What is a Contraceptive Implant?

A contraceptive implant is a small, flexible rod placed under the skin of the upper arm that releases hormones to prevent pregnancy. It provides long-term contraception for up to 3–5 years.

How Does a Contraceptive Implant Work?

  • Releases Progestin – Prevents ovulation and thickens cervical mucus to block sperm.
  • Long-Lasting Protection – Effective for up to 3–5 years without daily attention.
  • Highly Effective – Over 99% success rate in preventing pregnancy.
  • Reversible – Can be removed anytime if pregnancy is desired.

What is an Intrauterine Device (IUD)?

An IUD is a small, T-shaped device inserted into the uterus to prevent pregnancy. It is available in two types:

  • Hormonal IUD – Releases progestin to prevent ovulation and thicken cervical mucus. Effective for 3–7 years.
  • Copper IUD – Non-hormonal, creates an environment toxic to sperm. Effective for up to 10 years.

Who Can Benefit from an IUD or Implant?

  • Women seeking long-term contraception without daily pills.
  • Those who prefer a low-maintenance birth control method.
  • Women who cannot use estrogen-based contraceptives.
  • Individuals wanting a reversible and highly effective option.

How is the Procedure Done?

1️⃣ Contraceptive Implant Insertion

  • A small numbing injection is given to the upper arm.
  • The implant is inserted just under the skin using a special applicator.
  • The procedure takes only a few minutes.

2️⃣ IUD Insertion

  • The cervix is gently opened, and the IUD is placed inside the uterus.
  • The process takes 5–10 minutes and may cause mild discomfort.
  • A follow-up check-up ensures the IUD is correctly positioned.

Advantages of Contraceptive Implants & IUDs

  • Highly Effective – Over 99% protection against pregnancy.
  • Long-Term Protection – Lasts for several years without daily use.
  • Safe & Reversible – Can be removed anytime to restore fertility.
  • Low Maintenance – No daily reminders needed.
  • Hormonal & Non-Hormonal Options – Suitable for various health needs.

Possible Side Effects

  • Irregular bleeding (common in the first few months).

  • Rare complications like infection or displacement (IUD).
