Hello,

I can understand your concern. Having long menstrual cycles or cramps for as long as up to 6 months is a common finding after Implanon insertion. However, if you have had it for two years, the menstrual problems cannot be associated with that.

I would advise you not to go to your GP and instead consult a gynecologist. There might be presence of infection in the insertion area or some other disorders such as hormonal imbalance, endometriosis, polycystic ovaries etc. Your gynecologist will examine you and may prescribe tests for diagnosis. Treatment can be advised based on diagnosis.

I hope this information helps you. Thank you for choosing HealthcareMagic for your concern. I wish you find relief from bleeding soon!

Best,
Dr. Viraj Shah
