Side effects of Nuvaring are nausea, vomiting, headache, fatigue, tiredness, lack of energy, depression, mood swings, difficulty in sleeping, agitation, restlessness, irritability, acnes, hair loss, abdominal bloating, stomach pain, delayed wound healing, easily brushing, changes in weight, irregular uterine bleeding, bleeding or spotting between periods, vaginal discharge, vaginal bleeding, breast tenderness and enlargement, loss of appetite, allergic reactions etc. If you experience such type of side effects persist for long or bother you, then you should consult your doctor for medical help.
