Objective： To study the effects of three types of contraceptive implants: the domestic No I , No I implants and Norplant on menstrual blood loss (MBL). Method: Eighty-nine healthy subjects were randomly allocated to three groups.Menstrual blood loss was measured before implanting and 3, 6, and 12 months after implantation. Results: MBL of the three groups prior to the use of implant were 43. 3±6. 9ml,48.9±4. 3 ml, and 43.7±5. 5ml respectively, and decreased significantly at all post-implantation periods. MBLs were 32. 8±13. 2ml, 24. 8±5. 5ml, and 19. 7±9.3ml at the 3rd month after implantation and 23. 9±5. 9 ml, 40. 8±10. 4 ml, 25. 9±6. 0 ml at the 12th month after implantation respectively, sigmficantly less than before implantation(P<0. 05～0. 01). A tendency was seen in increase of hemoglobin concentraition. Conclusion： Long-acting contraceptive implants decreased menstrual blood loss and elevates hemoglobin concentration. They are applicable to women as a contraceptive method without blood loss effects.
