Benefits of Dimple Injection

Treatment of Abnormal uterine bleeding
Dimple Contraceptive Injection is a synthetic progestin that replicates the effect of a natural female hormone called progesterone. It slows the growth of the lining of the womb before menstruation, which reduces the bleeding during menstruation. If heavy periods become such a problem that they interfere with your everyday life, then try taking things a little easier on those days. Some women find that relaxation techniques or yoga help them feel more relaxed and reduce stress. Getting a lot of exercise can also help.
Treatment of Endometriosis
Endometriosis occurs when tissue similar to the lining of the uterus grows outside it, leading to pain and discomfort. Dimple Contraceptive Injection helps reduce the growth of this tissue, which helps relieve pain and discomfort and supports better management of the condition over time.
Amenorrhea
Amenorrhea is a condition where menstrual periods stop or do not occur as expected. Dimple Contraceptive Injection helps regulate the menstrual cycle and supports the restoration of normal bleeding patterns, thereby improving hormonal balance and menstrual health.

Side effects of Dimple Injection

Most side effects do not require any medical attention and disappear as your body adjusts to the medicine. Consult your doctor if they persist or if you’re worried about them

How to use Dimple Injection

How Dimple Injection works

Dimple Contraceptive Injection is a progestin (female hormone). It works by preventing an egg from developing fully and being released from the ovaries during your menstrual cycle. It also alters the lining of your womb and thickens the mucus at the entrance of the womb, making it more difficult for the sperm to enter. This prevents pregnancy.

Frequently asked questions

Dimple Contraceptive Injection is a birth control method for women. It is made up of a hormone similar to progesterone, which is naturally produced in the body. It helps to prevent the development and release of egg from the ovaries during menstrual cycle thus prevents pregnancy.
The first dose is usually given within 5 days of starting of your period. It is given as an injection into the muscle of the arm or buttocks, either by a doctor or nurse. A single dose of this injection is effective for 12 weeks. Therefore, after every 12 weeks you need to take this injection to avoid pregnancy.
No, Dimple Contraceptive Injection is only 97% effective, which means 3 out of 100 women using Dimple Contraceptive Injection may get pregnant. However, if you are taking every dose on time then the medicine can be more than 99% effective.
Yes, your fertility returns to normal after a few months of stopping Dimple Contraceptive Injection (on average three months, but it may take up to 1 year). However, if you are planning to get pregnant soon, avoid taking Dimple Contraceptive Injection unless otherwise prescribed by your doctor.
The side effects associated with Dimple Contraceptive Injection include irregular menstrual periods or no periods at all, weight gain, headache, stomach pain, dizziness, acne and breast tenderness. Do not worry, as most of these side effects are temporary. However, if these side effects persist, consult your doctor.
Dimple Contraceptive Injection starts working immediately if given within the first 5 days of beginning of your periods. But, if you receive the dose at another time of your menstrual cycle then it may take about 7 to 10 days to show effectiveness. Therefore, during these days, you must use some other contraceptive method such as condoms to avoid pregnancy.
Dimple Contraceptive Injection is almost 100% effective and has many advantages. A single dose works for at least 12 weeks. During that time, you do not need to take daily oral contraceptive pills. It does not interfere with sexual intercourse. Moreover, it also reduces the risk of endometrial cancer (cancer of the lining of the uterus) by 80%. It may also be helpful in relieving painful periods.
Dimple Contraceptive Injection injections should be given every 12 weeks. If you wait longer than 13 weeks between injections, you may need to take a pregnancy test before your next injection. You should opt for other methods of contraception, like condoms, for 14 days after having the late injection.
