Women, or medical professionals only!?

I have the contraception rod inserted into my left upper arm, I have had no problems with it but I have to have it removed this year. How do they remove it? Does it hurt? and will I be left with a scar?

    You will be given a local anaesthetic for removal so it shouldn't be painful at all. A very small incision (cut) will be made, very much like when it was put in, and the implant removed.

    You may find you are a little sore and slightly bruised for a few days but that should settle quickly. If there is any scarring it will be very slight and barely visible.

    Good luck, I am sure you'll be fine.

    They make a small cut in your arm and pull it out... it shouldn't hurt any more than the insertion (they'll numb you up). It's generally just done in your doctor's office. You may get a scar if you're prone to scars, but it'll be very small.
