NuvaRing & Yeast Infections
(800) 889-3898
Designed as a form of birth control, the NuvaRing is a vaginal ring that is inserted, manually, into the vagina and left in for three weeks. At exactly three weeks after insertion the NuvaRing is removed. NuvaRing-free (for one full week), users are expected to have their menstrual cycle starting 2 to 3 days after removal.
Since the NuvaRing was introduced to the U.S. market as an alternative to taking a birth control pill everyday, millions of women have tried the ring for its convenience. However, despite the fact that the NuvaRing is a more convenient alternative, some women have been forced to discontinue use because of the intolerable side effects.
One NuvaRing side effect that many users have complained about is the development of yeast infections while using the ring. There have been mixed reviews posted by women who have tried using the NuvaRing. Among them, this is what some of the women have said in regards to their experiences with the ring and yeast infections:
“The newest symptom is a yeast infection I’ve had for a month that is impossible to get rid of, not to mention attempting sex was extremely painful.”
“I’ve got the worst yeast infection. I was fine before I put it in but now I’m uncomfortable…All after three days.”
“The first month of use I experienced the worst yeast infection ever with burning and itching and abundant discharge.”
