Patient's question:
Does putting in a ring definitely prevent pregnancy? How high is the possibility of getting pregnant? Thank you. Do you regularly go to the hospital to check if the position of the ring is normal? If it is normal, you can be completely at ease.Doctor's answer:
Using a birth control ring doesn't guarantee that you won't get pregnant. No form of contraception is 100% effective, but the chances are very low. Inserting a contraceptive ring can reduce the likelihood of pregnancy. Generally, it prevents pregnancy, though it's not impossible to get pregnant with a ring in place—this probability is relatively small. The purpose of a contraceptive ring is to alter the uterine environment to prevent the implantation of a fertilized egg. Moreover, under normal circumstances, once the ring is inserted and doesn't move, its contraceptive effect is very effective. After having the ring inserted, you should visit the hospital for a follow-up check one month later.
