Can nexplanon cause cancer?

Considering Nexplanon for contraception, but my friend mentioned something about it possibly causing cancer. Is there any truth to this rumor? I want to be fully informed before making a decision.

Bro, if we search google for a sneeze, it says it's a life-threatening issue. Nexplanon is highly researched and safe, it is not going to cause cancer. Chill out and stop reading scary internet articles late at night!

I don't think there is any proven link between Nexplanon and cancer. Instead of wasting hours on search engines and stressing during work, just book a quick 10-minute online consult with a gynecologist to clear your mind.

Hey, please take a deep breath. Nexplanon doesn't cause cancer; in fact, progesterone-only methods can sometimes help protect against certain types like endometrial cancer. You are completely safe, don't let anxiety take over.

Oh my god, I had the exact same panic attack when I got my implant last year! I spent three days crying thinking about cancer risks. But my gynae explained it clearly—there is no major link to worry about. It is totally fine, don't worry.

If you are very worried, getting a basic checkup at a government hospital or a local trust clinic is quite cheap. No need to spend thousands in big private labs just out of fear. But honestly, Nexplanon is safe and wouldn't cause this.
