The vaginal ring is a contraceptive method composed of estrogens and progestogens. Its function is to prevent ovulation and thicken the cervical mucus to make it difficult for sperm to enter. In addition, this hormonal contraceptive is easy to insert and remove and reduces the chances of forgetfulness compared to birth control pills, for example.
Other advantages of the vaginal ring are:
- High contraceptive efficacy.
- Regulation of the menstrual cycle.
- Lower amount of hormones.
