If you’re tired of remembering pills or setting daily reminders, this one’s for you!

Meet the contraceptive implant — a small, flexible rod placed just under the skin of your upper arm that quietly takes care of birth control for you.


💡 What Is a Contraceptive Implant?

It’s a matchstick-sized rod that releases a hormone (progestin) into your bloodstream. This prevents ovulation and makes it harder for sperm to reach the egg.

Sounds high-tech? It’s actually simple — and one of the most reliable forms of contraception available today.


⏱ How Long Does It Last?

Once inserted, it works for up to 3 years! That’s three worry-free years without the daily pill or monthly reminders.


💯 How Effective Is It?

Over 99% effective when placed correctly — which means it’s as close to “set it and forget it” as contraception gets.


🌿 Is It Safe?

Most women do very well with it. Some notice irregular bleeding or spotting in the first few months, but this usually settles as your body adjusts.

It’s completely reversible — once removed, your fertility returns quickly.


👩‍⚕️ Why Women Love It

  • No daily routine

  • Discreet and lightweight

  • Long-term protection

  • Easy insertion and removal

For many women juggling work, family, and a hundred other things — this is birth control that actually keeps up with you!


💬 A Note from Dr. Sandya


Every woman’s body and priorities are unique. What works beautifully for one might not suit another — and that’s perfectly okay!

Before deciding, have a warm, open chat with your gynaecologist to find what fits your lifestyle best.

Because when it comes to health, it’s always better to talk to an expert than to interpret online information on your own. 💖
