Study Notes
Vaginal Ring Mechanism
- The vaginal ring is a flexible, biocompatible polymer that releases hormones, usually etonogestrel and ethinyl estradiol
- The ring primarily prevents pregnancy by inhibiting ovulation
- The hormones released from the ring prevent the pituitary gland from releasing luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), which are necessary for ovulation
