Having my implant changed

Posted By whiskeynz45

"Having my implant changed"

About: Sexual Health Services - South Staffordshire (Open Clinic)

(as a service user),

Had an appointment recently to have implant removal /change.

I felt okay, didn't feel a thing as you have a Local anaesthetic. The nurse did make sure I couldn't feel anything. I confirmed with her that I couldn't.

She explained everything as she went on with the procedure.

She then asked me if I had any questions, which I did.

Nurse was very friendly and reassuring by making sure I was okay along the way.
