​Vaginal contraceptive ring precautions

The vaginal contraceptive ring is a contraceptive tool placed in the uterus, saving the trouble of buying condoms. You don't have to worry about pregnancy, but the vaginal contraceptive ring is not suitable for everyone. You need to refer to the doctor's opinion and whether your body can adapt. The use of the vaginal contraceptive ring will cause prolonged menstruation and irregular menstruation. There is also the risk of falling off at any time. The advantage is that it can be put in and taken out at any time without affecting fertility.

The use of vaginal contraceptive ring is very simple. For first-time users, the medical staff will place it in the deepest part of the vagina (the posterior fornix of the vagina) on the 5th day of menstruation. At present, the domestic vaginal contraceptive ring used in some areas can be used continuously for 1 year after being inserted into the vagina once, and generally does not need to be removed during menstruation.

Generally, women of childbearing age can use vaginal contraceptive rings; however, those with severe anemia, vaginal wall relaxation, cystocele, rectocele, uterine prolapse, and suspected or confirmed genital tumors should not use it. Those with trichomonal vaginitis, fungal vaginitis, and severe chronic cervical inflammation should use it after they are cured.

The front and back walls of the vagina are usually in close contact, so vaginal contraceptive rings are generally not easy to fall out deep in the vagina. However, users should go to the hospital for regular check-ups and learn to check and correct the position of the ring themselves under the guidance of medical staff.

Because the ring is small and deep in the vagina, there is no obvious foreign body sensation during intercourse and it has no effect on sexual life. If there is an effect, the ring can be removed during intercourse and put back in after intercourse, which does not affect the contraceptive effect.
