New Innovative Contraceptive at Golden Valley Medical - Clinton

Golden Valley Memorial Healthcare would like to announce that Dr. Ken Holt OB/GYN at Golden Valley Medical-Clinton has been trained to provide the innovative contraceptive, Implanon.  Implanon is a small, flexible rod, about the size of a matchstick, that contains etonogestral, a progestin. Once inserted under the skin, the rod continually releases a low dose of etonogestral into the bloodstream, which provides contraceptive protection. You can use a single IMPLANON rod for up to three years and it does not contain estrogen.  Most of the time after implanted, the rod is not visible. For more information about Implanon call Dr. Holt’s office at  890-8460.
