Question: What will happen if my explonon implant is bent?
Brief Answer:
Pressure test explained
Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, thanks for trusting health care magic.
If it is just a bent then nothing to worry about as it will still function in usual way but in case that bent has caused a break in the covering then it needs to be changed instantly as otherwise it will flood your body with hormones right now itself but improper protection in the long run.
Though bent is common and breaks are rare but we cannot take chances so try to put a little pressure on it with your index finger if you feel pressure and resistance inside the capsule then nothing to worry hut in case you don't feel pressure or can feel brushing of broken ends against each other then you will have to get this changed soon.
So wish you luck.
Take care
Regards
