Removing implant

  • Hormonal Release: Continuously releases a low dose of progestin to prevent ovulation, thicken cervical mucus, and thin the uterine lining.
  • Long-Acting: Provides effective contraception without daily attention

Description

Removing an implant as a family planning tool refers to the process of taking out a contraceptive implant, which is a small, flexible rod inserted under the skin of a woman’s upper arm to provide long-term birth control. The implant releases a hormone (usually etonogestrel) that prevents pregnancy.
