Can Implanon Break If Somebody Hit The Arm Or Pressure On It?
Hi, I am considering using Implanon. I train in martial arts, & I am concerned that it will be a problem as I commonly get my arms grabbed, hit or have pressure put on them. Would the rod be able to withstand this? What is the likelihood of it breaking from that kind of impact? Thank you.

Hi,
Implants can rarely break if a person is hit but it can be misplaced but I don't think it can cause a problem and also training in martial arts won't cause a problem.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
