What Causes White Discharge In Urine, Tender Breast When On Nuvaring?

Hi I have noticed recently this white fluffy stuff in my pee i don't know what it is. But before I noticed this my boobs have been very very tender I do not know why. I don't think I'm pregnant I had my period and I'm on Nuva ring but me and my fiancé have unprotected sex. What do you think this could be?

Hi,

NuvaRing is Etonogestrel and Ethinyl estradiol containing vaginal ring. It offers protection towards pregnancy when properly used.

According to manufacturers, it can lead to side effects like increased vaginal discharge and breast tenderness.

So, probably the symptoms you are having could be due to the side effects of the NuvaRing.

If you had NuvaRing inside the vagina when you had intercourse, the possibility of pregnancy is less.

If not, better to go for a urine pregnancy test once to rule out the possibility of pregnancy.

It the test gives negative result and if the symptoms persist, please consult your Gynecologist once and get examined to rule out pelvic infection and take treatment accordingly.

Regular use of vaginal wash and cold compresses to the breasts can decrease the side effects of NuvaRing.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr. Sree Gouri SR
