How do you insert Estring correctly?

Insert Estring by lying on your back with knees bent or standing with one foot raised on a chair. Remove the ring from its pouch, squeeze the sides together into an oval shape, and gently push it into the vagina as far as it will comfortably go. The ring should rest in the upper third of the vagina against the cervix.

What happens if the ring falls out?

If the ring slips out, rinse it with lukewarm water and reinsert it as soon as possible. If it has been out for more than three hours, contact your prescriber for guidance, since the dose may need adjustment.

How long does the ring stay in place?

Estring remains effective for 90 days. After three months, remove the used ring and insert a fresh one on the same day of the week to maintain continuous treatment.

When should you remove or replace the ring early?

Remove the ring early if you experience discomfort, unusual discharge, or signs of infection. Replace it only after consulting your prescriber.

Can you have sex with the ring in?

Yes. The ring is designed to stay in during intercourse. If it causes discomfort for either partner, remove it beforehand and reinsert it afterward.

How do you remove the ring yourself?

Hook a finger around the ring and gently pull downward. Wash your hands before and after removal.

What should you do if the ring causes irritation?

Mild irritation is common during the first weeks. Persistent burning, itching, or odor warrants a call to your prescriber to rule out infection or allergy.
