Birth Control Ring for Heavy Periods

In this birth control method, a woman can put a contraceptive ring into the vagina. This device can release hormones into her body to prevent ovulation. This can help skip the period and reduce symptoms of heavy periods. After 3 weeks, they should remove the birth control ring to have the period again. Nevertheless, it is possible to leave the ring in when you want to skip the period. It is recommended to change it every 3 to 5 weeks for this purpose. Certain people still report spotting when they skip the menstrual cycle. [4]
