Nexplanon is the only contraceptive implant currently available in the United States. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Nexplanon device should provide very effective contraception for the three years that the device is recommended to be used. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is a small rod that is inserted unobtrusively under the skin of your inner arm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nexplanon device should be inserted by a provider with experience and specific training. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is still possible to get pregnant, or have a tubal pregnancy when using Nexplanon, so unexpected pelvic pain, or unexpected bleeding always has to be evaluated. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Like with other forms of contraception, there have been rare reports of deep vein clots reported with this hormonal method. Most cases of strokes, heart attacks, clots i nthe vein to the eye, or into the lung have only been reported iwth combination hormonal contraceptives. Nexplanon is not a combination hormonal method. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Diabetics and pre-diabetics can use Nexplanon, but they should undergo appropriate monitoring. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Unlike condom use, Nexplanon doesn’t protect against STDs. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
