An implant is a small rod that is inserted under the skin of a woman’s upper arm by a doctor or nurse.
It is a very convenient method for women as it does not require any maintenance once it has been inserted. Women do not have to do anything until she gets it removed.
Implants come in several types, each with a different duration of effectiveness. Implanon is effective for 3 years while Jadelle lasts up to 5 years.
