THE THREAD OF WOMEN'S HEALTH

I'm a space case with a busy life... I forgot to take it all the time!

So writes the “forgetful” Monica! For some women, especially (but not only) very young ones, remembering to take the combined pill each day at the same time can be a real problem, with the risk of further instances of forgetting and problems in the schedule that should be followed each month.

If you are one of these women, the vaginal ring or the patch may be more suitable methods of contraception for you, because they do not require daily intake. Ask your gynecologist to talk to you about it. These are both very effective methods, although the ring requires greater familiarity with your body compared to the patch, which is simply applied to the skin.
