Understanding NuvaRing contraception

Using a birth control pill, also known as contraceptive pill, is the choice of most sexually active woman these days. You can look for other forms of contraception which are innovative and at the same time do not require to be taken on a daily basis. Usually you are required to take the contraceptive pills every day for 21 days in a row. Taking a tablet each day can become a difficult task for women, especially if they are indulged in a busy professional world. Women seeking for other effective birth control methods can now opt for NuvaRing. It is small and flexible ring of about 2 inches in diameter which is inserted into the vagina once a month.

This product releases artificial hormones into your bloodstream. The hormones include the naturally occurring female sex hormones known as oestrogen and progestogen. The synthetic oestrogen is called ethinylestradiol and the artificial progestogen is called etonogestrel.

These two hormones work together in three ways to make it almost impossible for you to conceive. Firstly, it stops the process of ovulation by making the body believe that ovulation has already occurred. If ovulation does not occur then there will be no release of eggs from ovaries. Secondly, it alters the womb lining in such a way that a fertilised egg fails to implant itself and grow on the womb lining. Finally, it makes the cervical mucus thick due to which a sperm is not able to penetrate inside the womb.

NuvaRing should be used only once in a month which makes it a very convenient way of preventing pregnancy. This ring offers additional benefits of lighter and shorter periods, and it also treats acne and prevents menstrual cramps. It also provides protection against ovarian cysts, pelvic inflammatory disease or uterine and ovarian cancers. The oestrogen level in this ring is less as compared to any contraceptive pill, so you are less likely to develop any side effects related to oestrogen such as headache and nausea. You do not have to digest it so the effectiveness of NuvaRing is not hampered even if you suffer from diarrhoea.

You may not be able to use this contraceptive if you have a history of health problems such as severe high blood pressure, a stroke or blood clots, heart attacks or rhythm disorders and liver tumours. To insert this ring you should first discuss with your doctor. The usual way to insert this ring is squeezing it between the thumb & index finger and then insert into your vagina. This contraceptive ring should be inside your vagina for three weeks after which there will be a week when you do not need to use it. You will be protected from pregnancy even during this time. After the break of seven days, you would have to insert another ring. You can buy this contraceptive ring from any of the registered online clinics which make you go through an online consultation with licensed doctor. This form of contraception is helpful for women who do not want to take pills on a daily basis.
