Birth control ring blood clots have been increasingly reported in women using the Nuva Ring contraception. Pulmonary embolism and stroke side effects have also been associated with the use of this relatively new contraceptive ring. Nuvaring birth control rings are manufactured by Organon USA which is a subsidiary of Akzo Nobel based out of the Netherlands.
The birth control ring contains a combination of two hormones, estrogen and progestin, which are released through a low and steady delivery method. The progestin prevents the ovary from releasing an egg. The hormones are absorbed directly into the blood stream through the vaginal wall membrane.
Many women have switched to using birth control rings due to several benefits:
• Predictable and regular menstrual cycles
• Decreased menstrual cramps
• Decreased risk of ectopic pregnancies
• Less acne
The problem with the benefits of newer birth control like Nuvaring is that it can come at a high cost. There are serious Nuva ring side effects including an increased risk of blood clots associated with these newer combination hormonal contraceptives. Birth control rings like Nuva Ring contraception are considered third-generation contraceptives. Compared with second-generation oral contraceptives (the pill), women using newer third generation birth control like the birth control ring have a 4.8 to 9.4 greater risk of developing a blood clots - also referred to as venous thromboembolism.
The combination of hormones in Nuva Ring birth control rings can cause your body to create blood clots easier than other types of birth control. Birth control ring blood clots can form in your legs and later travel to the lungs causing a blockage. A blood clot that has moved to the lungs is referred to as a pulmonary embolism.
