Hormonal patch

A hormonal patch is a small adhesive patch you wear on your skin, typically changing it weekly. It releases hormones, mainly estrogen and progestin, into your bloodstream to prevent pregnancy. It works by stopping ovulation, thickening cervical mucus, and thinning the uterine lining to deter implantation. The patch is a convenient and discreet form of birth control, allowing for an effective method without daily pills. It’s important to follow the instructions properly to ensure maximum effectiveness, and consult a healthcare provider for personalized advice.
