Talk:Contraceptive vaginal ring

message: It would be good to add a photo of the ring, lying on a table, next to a ruler with both metric and English measurements.  The current photo shows what appears to be a very small hand holding the ring, which makes the ring look much larger than it is.  Joie de Vivre 16:54, 7 June 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: I changed the photo to one with a ruler in it for comparison, since Wikipedia discourages using coins for scale. The photo's quality right now is not the best, but I will replace it as soon as I can. --Ships at a Distance (talk) 01:19, 25 October 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Article needs an image that demonstrates the size of the ring

thread_title:  Weight gain parameter in infobox 

message: The paragraph under "Side effects" which begins with "Etonogestrel, the specific progestin used in NuvaRing, is the active metabolite of the inactive prodrug desogestrel, one of two third-generation progestins..." is a heavy-handed paragraph with an extremely important message for users and potential users of the NuvaRing. I suggest that this paragraph and its language be less convoluted so that everyone can benefit from a comprehensive explanation of risk. (This does not necessarily mean the paragraph needs to be "dumbed down" but use less medical language, or be wary of its word choice. For example, breaking down that first sentence into smaller sentences, changing "venous thrombosis" to "blood clots" and explaining that "etonogestrel" is a hormone.)

thread_title:  Concise/clearer language needed under "Side effects" 

message: The final part of "Side effects" states: "Side effects not observed in the clinical trial but widely reported in online boards are vaginal dryness, pain during sex, depression, feelings of anxiety, mood swings and loss of sexual drive."   
While the rest of this section is properly referenced, this statement lacks any references to said online boards, or any possible responses to these reports.  I suggest that some kind of specific references be made to support this claim, or else remove the statement until such evidence can be provided, as unfounded statements like this may lend themselves to unfounded paranoia about what is still a relatively new and unfamiliar product.  I do not believe that the statement should not be made at all, just that it should not be made without proper reference(s).

thread_title:  Reference needed for final statement under "Side effects" 

message: An editor recently changed wording from "it is recommended" to "users may" (diff) with the edit summary "rm reference to phantom recommendation".  This description of the recommendation as "phantom" puzzles me; the citation following these sentences says, "If NuvaRing® does slip out, follow the directions below:".  I thought such wording indicated the manufacturer was recommending that those actions be taken.
I believe the word "recommend" more clearly conveys that these are instructions published by a medical provider and would like to return to that usage.  Would it be better if the article said, "the manufacturer recommends" instead of "it is recommended"? LyrlTalk     C   22:49, 7 July 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, it should be stated that the recommendation is provided by the manufacturer, rather than it seeming like it could be just common practice or colloquial. Whatever404 (talk) 02:32, 8 July 2009 (UTC)
