Will The Implanon Still Works After Broken Into Two Pieces?
i'm pretty sure my implanon is broken... it makes a pop noise alot and feels like it separates when pressure is applied. I wouldnt have noticed but one day i heard the "pop" and i know for an inanimate object to make a noise there has to be two pieces. will it still work being in two pieces?

Hello and welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Implanon doesn't work once it is broken and moreover there are chances for infection in case of a broken implant. You can consult your gynecologist and get it removed and re insert the implant at a different site.
Wishing you good health.
Thanks.
