Main Results:

  • The most frequent side effects were menstrual irregularities, including amenorrhea, spotting, and menorrhagia.

  • Implant removal within six months was low at 4.4%.

Conclusions:

  • Norplant implants are a highly efficient contraceptive method for Senegalese women.
  • The method is generally well-tolerated, despite common menstrual side effects.
  • Low removal rates suggest good acceptability and adherence in the study population.
