The skin-embedded contraceptive method involves placing a certain dose of progestin in a silicone capsule tube, which is then buried under the skin, thus providing contraception. Although the contraceptive effect is relatively high and has the advantage of a long contraceptive period, a skin burial can prevent pregnancy for about five years. However, due to its inconvenience and the side effects of skin burial, it is rarely used in the clinic.
1. Dermal contraception is inconvenient: Dermal contraception requires local anesthesia surgery to implant a certain amount of slow-release hormone into the skin. During the treatment period, it is necessary to stop the contraception and also need to do the surgery, so it is very inconvenient.
2. Side effects of dermal implantation: After dermal implantation, it may cause women’s menstrual disorders, such as irregular vaginal bleeding, amenorrhea or ovarian cysts, and may also lead to mood changes, such as depression, headache, short temper and other phenomena.
