Проведен анализ литературы, касающейся применения контрацептивного вагинального кольца (КВК). Известно, что с позиции доказательной медицины КВК является эффективным и безопасным методом предохранения от беременности с многолетней историей применения. КВК обладает рядом безусловных преимуществ как в сравнении с  пероральными контрацептивами, так и  с  методами пролонгированной контрацепции. Освещены актуальные вопросы, касающиеся, прежде всего, удобства применения, в частности при половом контакте, приведены данные опроса партнеров пациенток, использующих КВК. Затронута тема влияния КВК на микробиоту влагалища и эпителий шейки матки с учетом дискуссионного вопроса о повышении заболеваемости раком шейки матки при длительном приеме комбинированных гормональных контрацептивов. В последнее время наметился определенный положительный тренд в охране репродуктивного здоровья. Однако стоит признать, что нерешенных проблем еще немало, в частности, недоступность адекватных консультативных услуг по планированию семьи и современных эффективных методов контрацепции. Фармацевтический рынок насыщен различными методами контрацепции. Тщательный анализ особенностей анамнеза и результатов обследований позволяет подобрать оптимальный и  безопасный метод предохранения от  беременности с  учетом желания самой пациентки. Принимая во внимание менее выраженный системный эффект, удобство применения, благоприятный профиль безопасности, выбор КВК в качестве метода контрацепции представляется оптимальным для женщин.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="en"><p>This survey introduces up-to-date statistic data on women’s reproductive health considering current control methods. It includes literature analysis on the contraceptive vaginal ring (CVR) use. Evidential medicine proves that CVR is a long-standing, safe and effective birth control method. CVR usage definitely wins the battle against oral contraception and prolonged contraception methods. The survey includes current patients’ survey results concerning CVR usability particularly during sex. VR’s effect on vagina microbiota and cervix epithelium is also covered, considering the discussions on cervix cancer increase caused by long-term use of combined hormonal contraceptives. Recently, there has been some positive trend towards the protection of reproductive health. However, we have to admit that there are still many unresolved issues, in particular, unavailability of adequate family planning counselling services and advanced effective birth control methods. The pharmaceutical market is saturated with various birth control methods. A careful analysis of medical history details and test results makes it easy to choose the best possible and safe birth control method with due regard of the patients’ wishes. Bearing in mind the less pronounced systemic effect, ease of use, and a favourable safety profile, the choice of CVR as a birth control method seems to be the best solution for women</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>контрацепция</kwd><kwd>репродуктивное здоровье</kwd><kwd>интравагинальный метод доставки лекарственных средств</kwd><kwd>микробиота влагалища</kwd><kwd>этоногестрел</kwd><kwd>этинилэстрадиол</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>contraception</kwd><kwd>reproductive health</kwd><kwd>intravaginal drug delivery system</kwd><kwd>vaginal microbiota</kwd><kwd>etonogestrel</kwd><kwd>ethinylestradiol</kwd></kwd-group></article-meta></front><back><ref-list><title>References</title><ref id="cit1"><label>1</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="ru">Bearak J., Popinchalk A., Ganatra B., Moller A.B., Tunçalp Ö., Beavin C. et al.
