A high continuation of Implanon use (92.4%)
during the first year after insertion was considered
Implanon as a highly effective and acceptable contra-
ception. Nearly half of all reasons for discontinuation
in the present study were non-medical reasons (42.8%).
Planned pregnancy and divorce were reported as
the main reason for discontinuation. Continuation and
adverse events of implanon do not differ from the other
progestogen only contraceptive.
