What to do if the vaginal disc breaks?
If the disc breaks, do I pull it out, put in a new one and extend the time of use, then there is a one-week break? That is, Np cracked in 2 weeks of use, I put a new one and use 3 weeks (5 in total) Did it break, wait a week, put a new one and use for 3 weeks, a week break and again new?

To @Anonim: Yes, if you take out a new disc at the "old" date, withdrawal bleeding should occur as usual within 2-3 days. Replacing the disc with a new one will not cause an increase in hormone levels - they are released from the disc gradually at a constant rate.
If the disc broke in the middle of the cycle and I immediately replaced it with a new one, and then remove it at the "old" date when I would remove the cracked disc, will the withdrawal bleeding appear on that day as usual? Will replacing the disc with a new one not cause an increase in hormone levels?

According to the ginoring disc documentation: "If the patient notices that the Ginoring is damaged, she should remove it and put on a new one as soon as possible. An additional method of contraception (e.g. a male condom) should be used for the next 7 days. If you have had intercourse before you notice the damage to your system, contact your doctor." The documentation of the discs does not contain information on how long to use the disc in such a case, but only an annotation that "the new vaginal therapeutic system can be used for no more than 3 weeks". If the disc broke in the second week, you can remove the new system so as to maintain the current rhythm, i.e. take out on the day when the three weeks "with the disc" end. Prolonged use will shift withdrawal bleeding and mid-cycle spotting may occur. The choice of method of treatment may depend on whether the ruptured disc has fallen out or there is a risk of pregnancy - here the leaflet refers to the doctor.
