Contraception doesn’t have to be “think every day, take every pill.” If you are someone who easily forgets or wants a convenient, less frequent option, implant and injection contraceptives are highly effective and safe answers.
What is an implant contraceptive?
- A small rod the size of a matchstick implanted under the skin of the upper arm
- Releases hormones continuously to prevent ovulation
- Prevents pregnancy for 3–5 years
- Quick procedure, takes only a few minutes, and no need for rest
What is an injection contraceptive?
- Injection of hormones into the muscle
- Needs to be repeated every 4 or 12 weeks (1 and 3 months)
- Suitable for those who find it inconvenient to take daily pills but still want short-term control
Compare the advantages
| Method | Duration | Convenience | Effectiveness |
| Implant contraceptive | 3–5 years | High (one-time procedure) | More than 99% |
| Injection contraceptive | 1-3 months | Moderate (requires repeat injections) | Approximately 94–99% |
Who is it suitable for?
