Implants have been used by 365 adolescents, of whom 174 have completed 2 years of follow-up. Study participants were monitored at months 1, 3, 6, 12, 18, and 24 postinsertion. Among the 174 women, 14% were 14-17 years old and 87% were 17-19. 21% were single, 30% married, and 49% in consensual unions. 38.5% were nulliparous, 56% had 1 child, and 5.7% had 2. 14.3% had a history of abortion. There were no pregnancies in the 2 years. 47.9% of users experienced menstrual irregularities at least once during the 2 years, with 9.3% reporting spotting or staining, 21.2% bleeding, and 19.3% amenorrhea. 6.4% reported nausea, 4.3% headache, 4.3% weight alterations, 2% acne, and 1.4% hair loss. There were 12 removals in the 2 years, 3 each because of menstrual and weight alterations, 2 for headaches, and 4 because of desire for pregnancy. 91.4% declared themselves satisfied with the method. The continuation rate was 93.2% at 2 years. The results suggest that Norplant is a good contraceptive choice for adolescents, but a prolonged study over 5 years is needed to confirm the findings.
