A member asked:
Are implants are sufficient for 3 year contraception for those who cnt commit to pills and condoms?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: I assume you are referring to Implanon/Nexplanon contraceptive implants. They are one of the most effective types of contraception available and they are effective for 3 years. The most common side-effect is irregular bleeding. They don't protect against sexually transmitted infections. Best wishes!
