Hello,
With the question "Can I get a contraceptive implant after 5 weeks of abortion? ", the doctor would like to answer as follows:
A contraceptive implant is a method of inserting a rod containing a certain hormone progesterone into the skin under a woman's arm. Hormones will be released into the body every day and help maintain the ability to prevent pregnancy for a long time about 3-5 years depending on the type of implant used.
Usually when inserting a contraceptive, in the beginning you may feel a change in your menstrual cycle such as amenorrhea, amenorrhea, heavy bleeding and may be accompanied by signs such as dizziness, headache, slight weight gain, acne,... These are all normal reactions due to hormonal changes and will usually settle down after 1.2 months. In the rare cases where the reaction does not improve, you may consider removing the contraceptive implant, and your menstrual cycle and fertility will be restored immediately.
You can have the implant at any time, as long as you are sure you are not pregnant at the time of implantation and preferably after your period stops. Usually implanted within the first 5 days of the menstrual cycle, that is, the first 5 days from the first day of menstruation or within the first 5 days after a miscarriage, within 21 days immediately after giving birth. If these times are correct then you do not need to use anything more. However, if this is not true, you must use additional condoms if you have sex within 7 days after implantation.
If you still have questions about the contraceptive implant, you can go to the hospital of Vinmec Health System for further examination and advice. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wishing you lots of health.
Best regards!
