Suggest Remedies For A Bent Implanon Implant In The Arm
I think my implanon may be broken in my arm. I had a bad fall last week and my arm, where the implanon is hit a corner pretty badly. It now feels bent. Would there be any sideal affects to it breaking in my arm? If it is broken should I stop having sex until it is replaced?

Hi,
It is possible that the break would have an effect on the function of the implant.
It would be best to use another contraceptive method e.g. barrier contraception, till it can be assessed.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
