Types of Birth Control Implants
OBGYN doctors near Houston can help you learn about your birth control options, which include implantable devices. An implant is typically thought of as a device that is placed under the skin, such as Implanon and Nexplanon. A gynecologist can place one of these implants under the skin of the upper arm. It works by releasing progesterone slowly over the next three years. At that point, you’ll have to visit a gynecologist again for Nexplanon removal.
Another birth control option that is commonly thought of as being an implant is the intrauterine device (IUD). You can hear more about using IUDs by watching this interview with a physician. He explains how long these IUDs typically last and reminds viewers that all implants and IUDs must be placed by a physician.
