Inserting a contraceptive implant (price without implant)

Contraceptive implant insertion is a medical procedure during which a small, flexible contraceptive implant is placed beneath the skin, most commonly on the inner side of the upper arm. This procedure provides a long-acting, highly effective, and reversible method of contraception. The service fee does not include the cost of the contraceptive implant itself.

What Is a Contraceptive Implant?

A contraceptive implant is a small, flexible plastic rod that releases a progestin hormone (such as etonogestrel) into the bloodstream. This hormone prevents pregnancy through several mechanisms:

• Suppresses ovulation: prevents the release of an egg from the ovary.
• Thickens cervical mucus: makes it more difficult for sperm to enter the uterus.
• Thins the uterine lining (endometrium): reduces the likelihood of implantation of a fertilized egg.

A contraceptive implant is one of the most effective methods of contraception and provides protection for up to 3 to 5 years, depending on the type of implant used.

Who Can Benefit from Contraceptive Implant Insertion?

Contraceptive implant insertion is suitable for women who:

• Want reliable, long-term contraception.
• Are looking for a reversible contraceptive method.
• Cannot or prefer not to use estrogen-containing contraceptives.
• Wish to avoid the need for daily contraceptive use.
• Experience difficulties with contraceptive pills or other contraceptive methods.

Procedure at the Clinic:

The contraceptive implant insertion procedure is performed in a doctor's office.

1. Consultation: A gynecologist assesses the patient's health status and medical history, discusses available contraceptive options, and helps select the most suitable method.
2. Preparation: The area where the implant will be inserted (usually the inner side of the upper arm) is disinfected and numbed using local anesthesia.
3. Insertion: Using a specialized applicator, the physician carefully inserts the implant beneath the skin. The procedure is quick and generally painless.
4. After the procedure: The insertion site is covered with a sterile dressing. The patient receives instructions regarding post-insertion care and possible side effects.

Results:

A contraceptive implant provides long-term, reliable contraception. It is a highly effective method of preventing unintended pregnancy and can contribute to improved quality of life by offering convenient, low-maintenance birth control.
