The contraceptive patch or Evra Patch is a small sticky patch that releases hormones into the body through the skin for the purpose of birth control. In the UK, the patch's brand name is Evra.
With this patch 150 μg of norelgestromin and 20 μg of ethinyl estradiol are released every 24 hours. The patch releases a daily dose of hormones through the skin into the bloodstream to prevent pregnancy and works in the same way as combined oral contraceptive pills by three mechanisms. It prevents ovulation. It also thickens cervical mucus, which makes it more difficult for sperm to move through the cervix. It causes alteration endometrium so a fertilized egg is less likely to be able to implant itself. About method tell the patient that apply the first patch and wear it for 7 days. On day 8 , change the patch to a new one. Change it like every week for 3 weeks, and then have a patch-free week.

This Channel is providing knowledge in the field of Obstetrics and Gynaecology. Obstetrics is related to medical and surgical care before, during, and after a woman gives birth. Obstetrics focuses on caring for and maintaining a woman’s overall health during maternity. This includes pregnancy, labor, childbirth, and the postpartum period. Gynaecology on the other hand focuses on women’s bodies and their reproductive health. It includes the diagnosis, treatment, and care of women’s reproductive system. This includes vagina, uterus, ovaries, and fallopian tubes. Gynaecology also includes screening for and treating issues associated with women’s breasts. Gynaecology is the overarching field of women’s health from puberty through adulthood. It represents most of the reproductive care you’ll receive during your lifetime. If you become pregnant, you’ll need to go to an obstetrician.
