Martina’s question illustrates a maternal concern that has no reason to exist. In reality, there are no contraindications for the implant, even for adolescents. In fact, over the last ten years, there has been a progressive increase in its use in women between the ages of 15 and 44, both for the implant and the IUD that releases the progestin hormone. Both methods are defined as long-acting reversible contraceptives (LARCs), and allow you to live your sex life in a completely calm manner, without the daily pressure of taking the pill, and without the need for a good knowledge of your body when you are still young and discovering yourself.
The implant is a method that has recently become available in Italy. This explains why it’s not talked about that much, and why it’s not used as much as it should be considering the advantages it offers. According to experts, it’s an ideal contraceptive for adolescents because of its efficiency and reliability.
