Patient's question:
Hello, I would like to ask how to use contraception most scientifically? Currently, I don't have the ability to have children, and we are using withdrawal as a method. However, we are both afraid of getting pregnant, so he suggested that I take birth control pills. I always feel that taking medicine is like "," and I also take cold medicine, anti-inflammatory drugs, and other medications occasionally. If it loses its effectiveness, what should we do... I once heard about a device that can determine if one can get pregnant just by testing saliva. Does such a device really exist? How effective is it? What kind of device is it? Thank you.Doctor's answer:
Contraceptive vaginal ring. The contraceptive vaginal ring is a soft, transparent ring with an outer diameter of 5.4 mm, which only needs to be placed once a month. Women can easily insert it into the vagina themselves, after which no other contraceptive measures are required. It belongs to a hormonal contraception method with a success rate of 92%. After 3 weeks, it is removed, and a new one is inserted after one week. In fact, in general, practicing any form of contraception can have some impact on pregnancy. Therefore, patients should pay attention to nursing and health care. Contraceptive users should take care of themselves, such as paying attention to keeping warm and avoiding cold exposure.
