Curēus 2023 March
Background Subdermal contraceptive implants are a convenient method of contraception for many women due to the ease of insertion and removal and because they require less follow-up with their health facility. In addition to the contraceptive benefits, women's satisfaction with such devices is essential, as this can affect their quality of life. This study aims to measure women's satisfaction with the subdermal contraceptive implant, Implanon® (Organon & Co., Jersey City, New Jersey, United States), its main side effects, and reasons for removal. Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted on women between the ages of 19 and 65 years who visited the Family Planning Clinic at the Specialized Polyclinic Primary Health Care Center in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, between January 2018 and December 2021. An online questionnaire was distributed to the women who had Implanon inserted and 84 responded. Demographic and contraceptive data were collected, including the dates of insertion and removal of Implanon and side effects experienced while on Implanon. Results Of the 84 women, 65.84% were satisfied with Implanon, while only 19.04% were unsatisfied with the implant. The most common side effect reported was weight gain (54.76%), followed by menstrual Irregularity. (39.29%). The most common reason for removal was the end of the implant's contraceptive duration (42.86%). Conclusion Most of the women treated at this primary healthcare clinic were satisfied with Implanon. In addition, most of the women removed the implant only due to its reaching the end of its contraceptive duration despite experiencing side effects, and most women said that they would recommend it to their family and friends.
