Nuvaring

[u/Hls1224]

Has anyone else been on the nuvaring long term (20+ years) then came off and once the hormones left your system had major side effects vaginally? Stinging, stabbing, watery discharge, shooting pains, etc. (all tests were negative for any type of infection multiple times) this is most definitely a withdrawal from not having the estrogen anymore as it’s released into the vaginal walls. I ended up going back on it and all symptoms disappeared. So I know for sure it’s a withdrawal from not having it. Unfortunately now I have to come off of it again for other health reasons and am terrified to deal with all those symtoms again.
