Hello
The Implanon is just a small tube that is implanted under the skin that slowly releases a hormone called Progesterone that will last up to 3 years.
The Manufacturer of this implant states on their website that if any changes occur within the skin or the implant itself, to see your Healthcare provider and have them examine the implant to make sure it is still patent. So, for this reason, yes, I would have it looked at to make sure it is where it is supposed to be and not becoming unlodged.
Your implant should not cause diarrhea at all. It can cause breast tenderness, nausea, fluid retention, and acne.
Sounds like you might have had a case of the stomach 'flu' or Gastroenteritis, and possibly an upper respiratory illness as well.
Hope this helps!
