Abstract

Introduction: Subdermal implants are a long-acting contraceptive method used around the world for birth control mainly in the adolescent population, a group where there is a high rate of unwanted pregnancies. Objectives: Explain the composition of subdermal implants, as well as their indications, application and adverse effects reported in the literature. Methodology: A systematic literature review on the use of subdermal contraceptives in recent decades was developed, in scientific articles searched in various electronic resources. Results: Implanon is a type of contraceptive that has demonstrated high effectiveness, safety, long-term use and acceptable to the fertile community. Its main objective is to reduce the number of unwanted pregnancies mainly in adolescents. The health implications of women most associated with the use of subdermal implants are alterations in the menstrual cycle, headaches, changes in mood and acne. Conclusions: having the aforementioned adverse effects, these constitute a frequent cause of discontinuation of the contraceptive method, knowing how to handle them has reached an acceptance of a significant number of users, and thus being able to use it has also achieved a notable reduction in the number of unwanted pregnancies.
