Contraceptive ring - as effective as pills

What is vaginal contraceptive ring?

The vaginal ring is flexible, transparent and contains two hormones: estrogen (ethinyl estradiol) and progestogen (etonogestrel). Hormones are absorbed through the vaginal wall directly into the bloodstream. Contraceptive ring is kept in the vagina for three weeks, being removed in the fourth week, during which she will have monthly vaginal bleeding.

NuvaRing pill also works by inhibiting ovulation. Local mode of administration is beneficial since avoiding first pass liver and effective contraception is not affected by gastrointestinal disorders (vomiting or diarrhea, which may modify the suspension to oral contraceptives by suppressing their absorption).

The ring has no negative impact on vaginal microbiology, colposcopy and Pap test Babes. The asemenenea during use can seek treatment with eggs (if the woman should treat an infection) and vaginal swabs can be used. The vaginal ring does not interfere with antibiotics.
