What is the ruling on using the electronic birth control implant, which is inserted into the arm and secretes a hormone that increases the density of the cervical mucus to prevent sperm from reaching the uterus?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

There is no harm in using the birth control implant. It is 99% effective and works by releasing the progestogen hormone, which reduces egg production, increases the thickness of mucus around the cervix, hindering the passage of sperm, or thins the uterine lining. It may cause menstrual cycle irregularities and intermittent bleeding. A trusted specialist should be consulted to consider its effects and weigh its potential harm against its benefits.
