Hello doctor, I have only been implanted with Implanon for 2 days, my implanted area is bruised, sometimes there is a sharp pain in the tip of the rod, and now there are signs of itching. Please ask the doctor if the symptoms of bruising in the Implanon implant area and a sharp headache with itching are normal? Thank you doctor!

Hello! After 2 days of implanting the contraceptive stick, the implanted area is bruised, sometimes painful at the tip of the stick and slightly itchy; This is a possible side effect and risk when performing the implant procedure.
The next problem is that you should limit movement, touch the implant site, the hand on the side implanted for 1 week. Continue monitoring to see if the bruised area has spread? Is the implant site swollen, hot or not? If yes, I need to go back to the place where I implanted the rod. If it helps, I also need to check again after 1 month. I hope you use safe birth control.
