A member asked:
Hi i have the contraception implant, it have been in my arm for just over 3 years, i just want to know it i need to get it taken out or leave it in?

The type of : Implant dictates that one. Try to remember the type and look it up. I can't remember any implant that is indicated over 3 years. If not depending on it for contraception, and it's not hurting, it is still sterile. It shouldn't start poisoning u or anything if that's what u mean. Good luck.
