Patient's question:
Does putting in a ring definitely prevent pregnancy? How high is the possibility of getting pregnant? Thank you. Do you regularly check with the hospital to see if the position of the ring is normal? If it is normal, you can completely rest assured.Doctor's answer:
Using a contraceptive ring does not guarantee absolute prevention of pregnancy. No form of contraception is 100% effective, but the chances are very low. Inserting a contraceptive ring can reduce the likelihood of pregnancy. Generally, pregnancy should not occur, although the possibility of pregnancy with an intrauterine device (IUD) cannot be completely ruled out—this probability is relatively small. The purpose of an IUD is to alter the uterine environment to prevent the implantation of a fertilized egg. Moreover, under normal circumstances, once the IUD is inserted, it does not move, and the contraceptive effect is very effective. After having the IUD inserted, it is recommended to return to the hospital for a follow-up check one month later.
