Therefore, the prescribing information on concomitant HIV/HCV medications should be consulted to identify potential interactions and any related recommendations. In case of any doubt, an additional barrier contraceptive method should be used by women on protease inhibitor or non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor therapy. During post marketing surveillance, a clinically relevant rise in blood pressure has been observed in rare cases. Seborrhoea has also been reported. Anaphylactic reactions, urticaria, angioedema, aggravation of angioedema and/or aggravation of hereditary angioedema may occur.
Contour delineation for the prostate target and organs at risk was performed on the TRUS transverse images, where the prostate is defined as the clinical target volume (CTV); the PTV includes the CTV plus treatment margins of 3–5 mm (depending on the patient’s pathology); and the OAR include the prostatic urethra and anterior rectal wall. For the prostate and PTV the dosimetric parameters analysed were the following: (1) the dose received by 90% of the relative volume (D90), (2) the relative volume to receive 100% of reference dose (V100), (3) the relative volume to receive 150% of the reference dose (V150) and (4) the relative volume to receive 200% of the reference dose (V200). These parameters offer both a good representation of the prostate and PTV coverage (via D90 and V100) and the incidence of ‘hot spots’ with V200 and V150. Based on recommendations for reporting from GEC-ESTRO the dosimetric parameters analysed for urethra were D10 and D30 while for rectum were the dose received by a volume of 2cc of the prostate (D2cc) and the dose received by a very small volume (D0.1cc) [ 8]. Insert the needle until the bevel (slanted opening of the tip) is just under the skin (and no further) (Figure 5b). If you inserted the needle deeper than the bevel, withdraw the needle until only the bevel is beneath the skin. Interactions can occur with drugs that induce microsomal enzymes which can result in increased clearance of sex hormones and which may lead to menstrual bleeding and / or contraceptive failure. Insertion or removal of the implant may cause some bruising, including haematoma in some cases, slight local irritation, pain or itching.
Ethics statement
Women should be advised that Nexplanon does not protect against HIV (AIDS) and other sexually transmitted diseases. The implant should be inserted preferably on the day after the last active tablet (the last tablet containing the active substances) of the previous combined oral contraceptive or on the day of removal of the vaginal ring or transdermal patch. At the latest, the implant should be inserted on the day following the usual tablet-free, ring-free, patch-free or placebo tablet interval of the previous combined hormonal contraceptive when the next application would have been due. Not all contraceptive methods (transdermal patch, vaginal ring) may be available in all countries. If you don’t have insurance and don’t qualify for Medicaid, you may still be able to get the implant at a lower cost or even for free. Grimm PD, Blasko JC, Ragde H.

Occasionally, there can be some difficulty removing the implant. If this is the case, you will be referred to a specialist centre to remove it with the assistance of an ultrasound scan.” The whole procedure should not take more than 10 minutes. Depending on when your last period was, the implant can take 7 days to start working for contraception. The clinician will talk to you about this on the day so that you know when you will be protected”. Across the board increases in dose to OAR was also seen (in some cases significant), however the absolute changes in the OAR dosimetry were minimal and thus may not be of clinical concern. they’ll find the end of the implant nearest to your elbow, make a small cut and gently pull the implant out through it
Conflict of interest
There have been occasional reports of migration of the implant; usually this involves minor movement relative to the original position (see also section 4.4), but may lead to the implant not being palpable at the location in which it was placed. An implant that has been deeply inserted or has migrated may not be palpable and therefore imaging procedures, as described below, may be required for localisation. The position of the patients was determined according to the position of the tumour. A CT scan was used for localization. Local and intravenous anaesthesia was administered. The positioning navigation device was installed according to the surface marking laser positioning line, the template was installed and adjusted, the position and angle of the needle insertion was controlled, and the needle channel was established according to the pre-operative plan. Beginning in the centre plane of the tumour, the needles were arranged in layers with a lateral margin of 1 cm and a depth of 0.5 cm from the distal edge. A CT scan was performed to determine the exact position, and the implantation was completed layer-by-layer with the implant gun. The particles were > 1 cm away from the skin to avoid damage to the skin. If necessary, an intra-operative planning correction and target dose optimization were performed.
