Question
Hello doctor, I am 28 years old this year, my neighbor's sister has put an IUD in her uterus for 3 years but she got dislocated so she got pregnant unexpectedly, so can I ask if I have an IUD implanted? Is there a chance of a dislocated ring and an unplanned pregnancy?

Hello! The contraceptive implant is implanted under the skin of a woman's arm, so there is no case of "falling off the ring". The implant releases progestin into the body to prevent ovulation and can be used for up to 3 years. This is a highly effective method, however, besides the benefits of the contraceptive implant, this method still has some side effects when used such as: Menorrhagia, vaginal bleeding, menstrual cycle disorders, acne, melasma...
Therefore, if you want to apply the contraceptive method, you should choose a reputable medical facility for your doctor to examine and consult first. when you do it.
Thank you for your question to Vinmec Health System. Best regards!
