A member asked:

Can you experience vaginal dryness during intercourse because you are using the nuva ring?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. Kevin O'neil answered

Specializes in Urogynecology

Possible: While most women who use the NuvaRing have few side-effects, some do. The estrogen in the NuvaRing in theory should help improve vaginal lubrication, but rarely a woman will have discomfort from the ring.
