Contraceptive Implant-Associated Bleeding in Adolescent/Young Adult Clinical Practice: Associated Factors, Management, and Rates of Discontinuation.

Treating such bleeding with medication was associated with higher 1-year discontinuation rates, although many continued implant use for 3 years. Such findings may influence implant preinsertion counseling and/or postinsertion bleeding management.
