Hi,I am Dr. Amitkumar Sharma (Internal Medicine Specialist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My boyfriend and I were having sex and he complained that the tip of his penis was itching and irritated. i ve been on the nuvaing ring for months now and this was the first time he complained. we are both clean of any diseases. could my nuvaring be the cause of his discomfort?
It is very much possible that the itching and irritation is caused by allergy to Nuvaring. It is a very commonly reported side effect of using Nuvaring. Other less common side effects experienced by male partners are- Penile dryness and scaling Bleeding and scarring of penis Dermatitis of penis and scrotum
Try avoiding sexual intercourse for a few days. If the itching and irritation improves then it is a sure sign of allergy. Talk to your doctor about the possible ways to deal with the allergy.
Hope this answers your question, thank you.
