A 39-year-old female asked:
I had a birth control implant and constant bleeding. Planned Parenthood says it may be an STI. Is that possible if I've used a condom EVERY time?
Dr. Lori Semelanswered

Unlikely: however, it would certainly be important to have an STI work up done. More likely this is a side effect of the implant.
