What Causes Light And Irregular Menstruation After Nexplanon Implant Expiration?

I have been on Nexplanon implant for birth control for 3 years and it expired in early April. I had no periods for the years until about February when I started getting them again but very irregular and light. And now, in the beginning of June I have had non stop brown discharge for a whole month straight... Will this go away if I get it removed ASAP?

Hello,

The bleeding irregularity is due to the expired implanon. Implanon has to be removed and take a home pregnancy test to rule out pregnancy.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Lekshmi Rita Venugopal, General & Family Physician
