By preventing the ovaries from releasing an egg, the patch offers effective protection against pregnancy. It also thickens cervical mucus, making it harder for sperm to reach the egg, and thins the uterine lining. Its mechanism is very similar to that of the birth control pill. Each week, a new patch must be applied to the skin and worn for seven days. After these seven days, it should be replaced for three consecutive weeks, ideally on the same day each week (“patch change day”). The fourth week, without a patch, triggers menstruation. Applied to the buttocks, abdomen, near the shoulder, or back (never on the breasts), the patch should be placed on clean, dry skin, avoiding oily products (e.g., cream). One downside of the patch is its lower adhesion during physical activities (exercise, showering, swimming, sauna), but it remains a convenient and discreet option. At each appointment, progestin is injected into a muscle, typically in the upper arm or buttock, every 12 to 13 weeks. This hormone works in three ways to prevent pregnancy: it blocks ovulation, thickens cervical mucus to prevent sperm from reaching the egg, and alters the uterine lining, making it difficult for a fertilized egg to implant. Thanks to its effectiveness and ease of use, this method is a reliable option for women seeking contraceptive protection without the need for a frequent routine. Here are the two types of pills, each with their specific characteristics: Combined oral contraceptive (COC), which contains both estrogen and progestin. Progestin-only oral contraceptive (POC), which contains only progestin. By preventing the ovaries from releasing an egg, the patch offers effective protection against pregnancy.

Several contraception methods
Contraceptive ring (Nuvaring)
The contraceptive ring, also known as the vaginal ring, is a practical and effective method of contraception widely used by many women. It is a small, flexible ring approximately 5.4 cm in diameter that is inserted into the vagina once a month and stays in place for three consecutive weeks. During the fourth week, remove the ring for a 7-day break. During this period, your menstruation will begin approximately 2 to 3 days after removal. Once the 7 days have passed, insert a new ring for 21 days, then repeat the cycle until you no longer wish to use contraception.
IUD (Intrauterine Device)
The IUD, also known as the intrauterine device, is a highly popular long-term contraception method used by many women. It is a T-shaped device inserted into the uterus. At NIOS Clinic, we offer a comprehensive service for women who wish to use the IUD as a contraceptive method. We provide contraception consultations for IUD prescriptions as well as its safe and effective insertion. Of course, we are also able to remove it if you plan to change your contraceptive method or plan a pregnancy.
Contraceptive implant
The contraceptive implant is a highly effective method of birth control. It is a small, soft, and flexible rod about the size of a matchstick, inserted under the skin of the arm. The implant slowly and consistently releases a hormone called progestin, which prevents ovulation. We offer both the insertion and removal of the implant if this method suits your needs.
Contraceptive patch
The contraceptive patch is a beige, self-adhesive patch measuring 4 cm x 4 cm, applied to the skin. It continuously releases estrogen and progestin into the bloodstream, helping to prevent pregnancy.
How the contraceptive patch works
Contraceptive injection
The contraceptive injection, or injectable contraceptive, is a reversible and highly effective birth control method, particularly suitable for women who have difficulty following a daily, weekly, or monthly routine. Administered four times a year by a healthcare professional, this injection contains only progestin, without estrogen, making it also suitable for those who wish to avoid estrogen.

Contraceptive pill
The contraceptive pill is a popular method of birth control that provides effective protection against pregnancy. It involves taking a small pill daily, containing hormones that prevent ovulation. At NIOS Clinic, we understand the importance of choosing the right contraceptive. That’s why we offer personalized consultations where patients can discuss these various options and find the one that best suits their needs and lifestyle.
