Hi, Ive had the contraceptive implant for 2yearand the last 8 months I have been having really bad experience.. I have been on my period constantly for the last 2years! Only had about 2weeks off.             . I have been getting really bad back pains.. Lost of hair. Really bad hot flushes, dizzy spells & anxiety. Dont want to eat a lot. Feeling drain all the time. Really bad mood swings, were I will be happy one minute and then the next minute I will be all sad and emotional for no reason.Im just wondering if you have any advice on what I should do?Thanks
Hi and thanks for the query, It is not unusual t experience bleeding abnormalities, especially with contraceptive implants. It is advisable to consult your doctor for a proper evaluation in case of excessive bleeding. Other contraceptive options could be discussed and proposed. Excess bleeding for the time being can explain weakness and tiredness due to excessive blood loss. Examined the back for pain might really have no relationship with the bleeding. Ultrasound, X-rays could with good physical examinations could be of immense help. The mood problems might to be discussed in depth with first, your primary care physician, and then seek the services of a psychologist. These could be good starting points in the management process. Wishing you good health. Bain LE, MD
