Although the fertility policy has been opened to three children, not everyone is full of joy after pregnancy, looking forward to the arrival of new life. There are also many couples who are anxious in the face of this unprepared "accident". Hate can't go back to that impulsive night and let it never happen.
It can be seen that pregnancy is a few joys and a few sorrows. For women who are not ready for a new life, how to effectively and safely prevent contraception is very important. Taking birth control pills, using condoms, and upper rings are the most common forms of contraception, but occasionally accidents occur. In fact, there is another contraceptive method that is safe and convenient, but not many people have heard of it, that is, the subcutaneous implantation contraception method.
What is a subcutaneous implant
Subcutaneous implant contraception involves placing an elastic plastic hose the size of a match into the skin on the inside of a woman's upper arm. There is progesterone in the small hose, which is continuously and slowly released into the body to play a contraceptive role. This small hose containing progestin is a subcutaneous implant.
Subcutaneous implant contraception has been recognized by the World Health Organization (WHO) in the 1980s, and the effective contraceptive rate in the adapted population is as high as 99%, which is recognized as one of the convenient and efficient contraceptive methods.
How to perform subcutaneous implantation
Subcutaneous implant contraception is very convenient to operate, to a qualified regular hospital, after local anesthesia, it only takes 3-5 minutes to complete the implantation. The tiny wounds left behind usually do not need to be sutured, only routine bandages are required.
One implant, effective contraceptive period up to 3-5 years. There is no obvious physical discomfort during the planting period, and there is no need to go to the hospital for regular medical examinations. This is very friendly to many "Ma Daha" women, and they no longer have to be accidentally caught because they often can't remember the menstrual period or forget to take the contraceptive pill.
Who is suitable
Even the best science and technology also needs to be suitable for the corresponding population to play a perfect role, and the subcutaneous implant contraception method is suitable for these people:
Women of childbearing age who do not have a birth plan within a few years;
Subcutaneous implants contain only progesterone, which can be chosen for women who are allergic to other contraceptive ingredients;
Women who cannot use other forms of contraception, such as intrauterine devices;
Some women have a large amount of menstruation, and subcutaneous implants can effectively regulate menstrual volume;
When lactating women need long-acting contraception.
Subcutaneous planting is not suitable for people
Since subcutaneous implantation techniques are used through the long-term slow release of progesterone into the body, some specific people are not recommended to use:
Women with known or suspected pregnancy;
Irregular bleeding of unknown causes;
Allergic reactions to progesterone and any component or link in the implantation process;
Patients with a known or suspected history of breast cancer or breast tumors;
Patients with any vascular embolism, vascular blockage, vascular tumor, liver history, or previous history of liver tumor.
Precautions for subcutaneous implantation
Although subcutaneous implantation technology is safe and efficient, there are some precautions that need to be paid attention to:
For the first time, there may be local pain, itching, swelling and other mild discomfort reactions in the implantation location; if the symptoms are more serious, or there is irregular bleeding and abnormal secretions in the vagina, it is necessary to seek medical treatment in time.
After subcutaneous planting, it can be removed at any time, and it must be removed in time after the burial is due.
During planting, irregular menstruation, even menopause, mood swings, weight gain, etc. are normal reactions of progesterone, and these changes do not cause harm to the body.
In cases where it is clear that there is no pregnancy, it is possible to carry out implantation at any time, but it is necessary to take into account the menstrual cycle, it is recommended to bury during menstruation, and at other times within 7 days of implantation.
Subcutaneous implantation is contraception through progesterone regulation, which cannot block the spread of the disease, and still needs to be protected with condoms if necessary.
There are some special drugs that will have an impact on the effect of implanted contraception, such as drugs for the treatment of HIV, epilepsy, or some antibiotics, and inform the doctor before implantation, and take other contraceptive measures during the medication.
The subcutaneous implant contraceptive method technology has matured, but the specific effective method of contraception should be consulted in a regular hospital according to the situation of the body. Do not blindly listen to the advocacy of institutions without medical qualifications or try at will.
