It is a flexible, transparent ring of 5.4 cm diameter that continuously releases a low dose of estrogen and progesterone. It fits into the vagina and left in place for a period of 3 weeks. Must then remove one week, during which your rules appear. Then, in a new place the same day at your previous cycle.
Do not worry, the ring fits easily and holds firmly in place. In a crouched position, lying or standing with one foot in height, pinch it between your thumb and forefinger and then insert into the vagina with one finger until you feel no more discomfort. If the ring is placed, you or your partner will not feel it during intercourse.
The ring is ideal for the heads up, women who travel a lot or have irregular hours because we must think twice in the month during insertion and withdrawal. It is a means of contraception whose use is controlled by women and can be stopped at any time. Moreover, "it tends to reduce the risk of fungal or yeast infections, and increase libido," says Dr. Jonathan Ouahba, obstetrician-gynecologist in Paris www.lagynecologie.fr. Low-dose hormones, it rarely causes minor bleeding among rules and may reduce some side effects such as weight gain or breast tenderness. But as with any method of contraception, it is possible that what benefits a woman agrees not necessarily to another.
"The cons-indications are the same as those that apply to the pill," says the doctor. Diabetics, women with a disease in the liver, gallbladder, high blood pressure or with heart problems should not use this type of contraception. Its main drawback is its relatively high price: a ring costs about 15 euros and is not reimbursed by social security.
