THE THREAD OF WOMEN'S HEALTH

I don't tolerate estrogen, and I also don't want to take a pill every day.

Are you also worried about this like Enrica? The subdermal implant does not contain estrogen, but only the progestin etonogestrel. It has the same mechanism of action as the progestin-only pill, but has the advantage of providing long-term contraception for 3 years. Once implanted, there is no need to remember to take a pill every day. It is recommended in all situations where you are not able or willing to use estrogen.

What then? Is it risky to keep it longer?

You can't imagine how liberating it is to not have to remember to take the pill every day!

I imagine that being a hormone, it works like the progestin-only pill - is that true?

My mother is against it, she says it is not suitable for a teenager.
