The 2012 London Summit on Family Planning called for innovative solutions for increasing contraceptive access for 120 million women and girls by 2020. One way of contributing to this goal is to address the contraceptive needs of postpartum women, who have considerable unmet need especially during lactation. The progesterone vaginal ring (PVR) has been shown to be effective and safe for breastfeeding women and has the potential to enhance contraceptive choice. This user-controlled method reduces dependence on health care providers and has the potential to reduce some access-related barriers that users face. Postpartum women who have used the method have found it easy to use and find it acceptable. A well-designed introductory approach is important to ensure that the PVR is integrated into health systems.
The PVR is a new technology that increases contraceptive options for breastfeeding women and has the potential to improve the health of women and their infants. Careful planning with attention paid to numerous factors can result in its successful introduction.
2012 年伦敦计划生育峰会呼吁寻求创新解决方案，以增加到 2020 年 1.2 亿名妇女和女童获得避孕措施的机会。为此目标做出贡献的一种方法是解决产后妇女的避孕需求，她们在哺乳期存在着大量未得到满足的需求。已证实孕激素阴道环（PVR）对哺乳期妇女是有效和安全的，并且有可能增加避孕方法的选择。这种用户控制的方法减少了对医疗保健提供者的依赖，并且有可能减少用户面临的一些与获取方法相关的障碍。使用过该方法的产后妇女发现它易于使用并且可以接受。精心设计的介绍方法对于确保 PVR 被纳入卫生系统非常重要。
PVR 是一种新技术，为哺乳期妇女提供了更多的避孕选择，并有可能改善妇女及其婴儿的健康。通过仔细规划并注意许多因素，可以成功推出 PVR。
