What is the principle behind thread implantation contraception?
Implant contraception works by inserting a small device containing hormones under the skin of a woman's body. The hormones released from the device achieve contraceptive effects.
This hormonal contraceptive can suppress ovulation, reducing the release of eggs. It also increases the thickness of cervical mucus, making it difficult for sperm to pass through the cervix and enter the uterus, thereby preventing fertilization. Additionally, the hormones from the implant can affect the growth and changes of the endometrium, making it difficult for a fertilized egg to implant.
Although contraceptive implants are highly effective, they may also cause certain side effects and risks, such as irregular menstruation, headaches, breast tenderness, and mood swings. Before using a contraceptive implant, it is recommended to consult a doctor and fully understand its proper use and potential risks.
