Hi, Ive had the implanon inserted on the 23/Dec/2013 and this is the first time Ive used contraceptive. I left for a holiday across the country about 5 days after I had it inserted - my diet and eating routines have changed, and have noticed recently that parts of my stool has become bloody (almost a bright red), and Im experiencing no pain. Could this be because of change in biological routine because of my diet or an effect from the implanon?
Hi, Insertion side effects of implant include local irritation, itching , bruising at the site of insertion. Bleeding in stools is not expected after implant insertion.  - ideal time of insertion is within 5 days of periods. If it is after 5 days post menses, additional protection is needed for one week.  - Implant causes irregular vaginal bleeding which may be mistaken with blood in stools. Please confirm it. Please consult your doctor if you find that blood is in the stools only & not vaginal.  _ blood in stools can be possible with some intestinal infections, piles, fissures.  Thanks
