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 completely rest assured.Doctor's answer:
Using a contraceptive ring does not guarantee absolute protection against pregnancy. No form of contraception is 100% effective, although the chances are very low. Inserting a contraceptive ring can reduce the likelihood of pregnancy. Generally, pregnancy should not occur, but it is not impossible to conceive 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 does not move, the contraceptive effect is very effective. After having the ring inserted, it is recommended to visit the hospital one month later to check the condition of the ring.
