What Causes Excessive Sweating After Having Implanon Implant?
I have excessive sweating since Ive had the implanon implant put in. its so severe that i sweat through my clothes in just a few minutes after putting them on. i have also not changed my eating style, which is healthy, and i go to the gym 5 times a week (cardio and weight training). ive gained over 25 pounds and cant lose it. can this be from the implant?

Hi,
Implanon has reported side effects like:
- Changes in your menstrual periods
- Vaginal itching and discharge
- Acne
- Mood changes
- Weight gain
- Menstrual cramps
- Nausea
- Stomach pain
- Breast tenderness
- Hot flashes
- Dizziness
- Flu-like symptoms
- Sore throat
Also weight gain is because of the prevention of ovulation due to hormones released from the Implanon. However this can be overcome by lifestyle changes- diet, exercises.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Yogapriya Vasudevan, General & Family Physician
