itchy and sore vagina after nuvaring insertion Posted: 02-13-08 22:05pm
so i finished my period last week, but ive
been spotting because i also just started
nuvaring. ive been having to use panty
liners because of the spotting, which i
normally dont do.
but since around the time my period ended
my vagina has been really itchy. it wasnt
too totally bad untill a couple of days
ago. its super uncomfortable, and almost
sore because it itches so bad.
i dont think ive had any white discharge,
but its hard to tell because of the
spotting. it also smells different than
usual. idk its weird... the only way i can
describe it is as almost a tiny bit
sweet-ish. its strange.
i used some vagisil that my mom had, and
she told me to "air it out" so im wearing
loose pjs with no panties.
do you think this sounds like a yeast
infection?
could it maybe have anything to do with
the nuvaring??
thanks!

I only used the nuva ring for a month (I
was having major troubles with bc!) so
anyways... I ended up getting my first
yeast infection after having the ring in
for about a week. I don't know either if
it was due to the ring or not. After that
I stopped using bc all together for about
2 months but still had problems with the
infection coming back. I think it was
never really completely gone. I should
have gotten a RX from my DR. But I
continued using over the counter creams. I
found miconazole worked best for me and I
started eating yogert every other day. Now
I'm infection free!
Yes it does sound like the symtoms I had.
I would either try and over the counter
cream or go see your dr. They can give you
something like Diflucan and may have you
use the cream depending on how bad and
what kind of yeast infection you have.
Good luck I know it sucks! Hope this
helped you.
