Answer:

  1. Implant
  2. A vaginal ring
  3. Diaphragm

Explanation:

The contraceptive implant is a device widely used today to prevent unwanted pregnancies. It refers to a small plastic rod, which is painlessly inserted under the skin. Once inserted, the implant will release hormones that have a similar function to progesterone and may prevent fertilization and consequently pregnancy. The positive benefit of these implants is that they can remain on the skin for up to 3 years.

The vaginal ring, in turn, is also a contraceptive device. It consists of a circular silicone rod, very flexible. This flexibility allows the ring to be inserted into the vagina and release hormones that prevent the ovaries from releasing eggs and preventing a pregnancy from happening.

The diaphragm, in turn, is a barrier contraceptive method. It represents a dome-shaped piece of rubber placed inside the vagina before intercourse. It has the ability to cover the cervix, establishing a type of "wall" that prevents sperm from being able to come into contact with the uterus and cause fertilization.
