From time to time, medicine offers us new, more convenient and safer contraceptives. Relatively recently, a new tool has appeared in Russian pharmacies - the NovaRing ring , reviews about it are mostly good. Since this method is unfamiliar to most women in its application and action, we will try to consider it in more detail.
NovaRing is a contraceptive elastic ring that is smooth and transparent on the outside. The ring is inserted into the vagina and remains there for 3 weeks. It takes on the individual anatomical form of the female body, and therefore does not cause any discomfort and is not felt at all. The NovaRing ring earned its honest reviews, since a small amount of its hormones practically does not affect the condition of the woman, but at the same time protects her from unwanted pregnancy.
The principle of the method and its composition
Under the hypoallergenic shell of the contraceptive ring contains a minimal dose of progesterone and estrogen. The NovaRing ring inserted into the vagina under the influence of body temperature begins to secrete hormones, they, in turn, begin to act on the uterus and its appendages, without affecting other organs. The dose of hormones is much lower than that in tablets, but it is enough to prevent the egg from ripening and leaving the ovary.
