Hallo,
wer kann mir genauere Fakten zu den Hormonimplantaten für Frauen (zur hormonelllen Verhütung)geben. Mehr als dies in den einschlägigen Magazinen der Privatsender zu hören bzw. sehen gibt ?
Super wäre natürlich eine oder mehrere medizinische Internetseiten dazu.

Leider habe ich auf deutschen homepages nicht allzuviel, dh gar nichts darueber gefunden. Am Besten, Du suchst mal auf USA homepages. Anbei ein Artikel ueber das amerikanische Praeperat, das dort schon seit Jahren auf dem Markt ist.
Gruss Anja

What are Norplant contraceptive implants?
Norplant implants are 6 matchstick size rods inserted into the upper
arm. After you are given a local anesthetic, insertion takes about 7 to 10
minutes. Usually it does not hurt. Norplant implants give off very small
amounts of a hormone much like the progesterone a woman produces
during the last 2 weeks of each monthly cycle. Among typical couples
who initiate use of Norplant implants, 1 in 1,000 will experience an
accidental pregnancy in the
first year.
Complete information about this contraceptive is available from your
clinician or from the
package insert accompanying Norplant contraceptive implants.
Advantages:
Norplant implants are very effective. Only 1 woman in 1,000 becomes
pregnant in the firstyear of Norplant use. If 100 women use Norplant implants
for 5 years, only 2 will become pregnant.
There is nothing you must do on a daily basis or at the time of intercourse to
prevent
pregnancy.
Only one clinic visit per year (for a regular checkup) is required.
Women using Norplant lose less menstrual blood.
Teenagers using Norplant have higher continuation rates and lower
pregnancy rates than
teenagers choosing to use birth control pills or Depo-Provera injections.
Disadvantages:
Norplant is quite likely to cause irregular periods. If your bleeding pattern is
bothersome
to you, contact your clinician. There are medications that may give you a
more acceptable
pattern of bleeding. As time goes on your periods may become more
regular.
You may gain weight, lose hair, develop headaches or develop darkening of
the skin over
your implants. Implants may cause some arm discomfort.
Depression and premenstrual symptoms may improve or worsen.
A woman may have trouble finding a clinician who will remove her implants.
Norplant implants do not protect you from HIV or other infections. Use a
condom if you or
your partner may be at risk.
Where can I get Norplant?
You can get Norplant implants from your doctor, nurse practitioner, nurse
midwife, health department, or family planning clinic. Not all clinicians insert
implants. Check in advance. Be sure the clinician inserting your Norplant is
also experienced at removing implants and will remove them whether or not
you are able to pay to have them removed. You will probably be given a date
to return about one
month after insertion to check out the insertion site and to answer any
questions you may have.
You may qualify for free Norplant implants from the Norplant Foundation. Call
703-706-5933 for
more information. They can also help you get your Norplant removed.
What if I have sex before my Norplant is inserted, and I don’t
use birth control?
For 72 hours AFTER unprotected sex, you can take emergency
contraceptive pills to avoid
becoming pregnant. For up to 7 days AFTER unprotected sex, you can have
an IUD put in. Not
all clinicians know about emergency contraception. If you want more
information or would like
the phone numbers of clinicians near you who prescribe emergency
contraception, CALL the
toll-free hotline 1-888-NOT-2-LATE or 1-800-584-9911. Some of these
sources of help are
free.
Ich hatte mal Seiten, aber leider habe ich meinen Verlauf gelehrt! Such mal mit einer Suchmaschine unter „Implanon“, da wirst du auch deutschsprachige Seiten finden!
