Ehkäisypäätteitä

Ehkäisypäätteitä, often translated as "contraceptive implants" or "birth control implants," are small, flexible rods inserted under the skin of the upper arm. These implants release progestogen hormones, which prevent pregnancy primarily by stopping ovulation and thickening cervical mucus. They are a highly effective form of long-acting reversible contraception (LARC), meaning they are reversible and last for several years, typically three years, depending on the specific product. The insertion and removal procedures are minor medical procedures performed by a healthcare professional. Ehkäisypäätteitä are a discreet and convenient option for many individuals seeking reliable birth control. Common side effects can include changes in menstrual bleeding patterns, such as irregular spotting or lighter periods, and in some cases, mood changes or acne. However, these side effects are often temporary and vary from person to person. They do not protect against sexually transmitted infections, so condom use is still recommended for STI prevention. Ehkäisypäätteitä are considered safe for most individuals, but a healthcare provider will assess suitability based on medical history.
