These are small, flexible rods that are inserted under the skin of the upper arm. They are a highly effective form of birth control, with a failure rate of less than 1%. The implant works by slowly releasing hormones into the body that prevent ovulation and thicken cervical mucus, making it difficult for sperm to reach the egg. The implant can provide protection against pregnancy for up to three years, and it can be easily removed by a healthcare provider at any time if the patient wishes to conceive. Contraceptive implants are a convenient and discreet form of birth control that offer peace of mind to those who want to prevent pregnancy without the hassle of daily pills or other forms of contraception.
