Additional Information for Contraceptive Intra Vaginal Ring
Contraceptive Intra Vaginal Rings (also known as vaginal rings or birth control rings) are a type of contraceptive device that is inserted into the vagina to prevent pregnancy. They are classified under the supply class Medical And Surgical Instruments, Equipment, And Supplies in the supply group Medical, Dental, And Veterinary Equipment And Supplies.
The contraceptive intra vaginal ring is a small, flexible ring made of plastic that contains hormones (usually a combination of estrogen and progestin) which are slowly released into the body. It works by preventing ovulation, thickening the cervical mucus to block sperm from reaching the egg, and thinning the lining of the uterus to prevent implantation.
To use the contraceptive intra vaginal ring, it is inserted into the vagina and left in place for a certain period of time (usually three weeks). After that, it is removed for a week to allow for a withdrawal bleed, similar to a menstrual period. Then, a new ring is inserted to continue the contraceptive protection.
It is important to note that the contraceptive intra vaginal ring does not protect against sexually transmitted infections (STIs). It is solely intended for pregnancy prevention.
