General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
Complaints you are mentioning like pain in the lower abdomen and irregular menstruation are nothing but the side effects of the implant. Such problems are encountered by few women. Gradually, over a period of time, such side effects should settle down.
When you encounter such problems, you need to take symptomatic treatment.
In case they become intolerable, then you need to consult Gynecologist for the removal of implant and go for some other means of contraceptives.
Hope the information provided is useful.
All the best.
