It is not suitable for physical labor or high-intensity activities within a week. When going to the toilet, try to avoid holding your breath too hard to prevent the ring from coming off due to a sudden increase in abdominal pressure.

2. Maintain hygiene: Ring placement is a surgical procedure. In order to prevent infection, keep the external vagina clean after the operation, wash the lower body with warm water and change underwear every night. Within two weeks, sexual intercourse (this requires close cooperation from the man) and bathing in a tub (but showering or sponge bathing is allowed) are strictly prohibited to maintain vaginal hygiene and avoid cross infection.

3. Pay attention to observation: within a few days after the placement of the ring (mainly the first three days), there may be a small amount of vaginal bleeding, mild lower abdominal discomfort (such as low back pain, etc.) and excessive leucorrhea (this is caused by surgical trauma or reflex compression of the contraceptive ring or rupture of small blood vessels in the uterine wall). Generally, it can disappear on its own and does not require treatment. If the bleeding is heavy or lasts for more than a week, especially if you have abdominal pain or fever, go to the hospital immediately.
