What Causes Vaginal Bleeding While On Nuvaring?

I haven t had intercourse in over a year. No health problems other than endometriosis. Im on the nuvaring and have no periods to help with that. Lately, every time I masterbate with my clit only, I bleed excessively for half the day. Not sure if I need to see an OBGYN or not..?

Hello,

Bleeding is a common side effect of Nuvaring. It can range from spotting to heavy bleeding. It is most common during the first month of insertion of Nuvaring and goes away after few months. Hence, you can relax and wait. Still if you are worried, can consult a gynecologist for further evaluation.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Pallavi M., Anesthesiologist
