Can NuvaRing cause cervical cancer?
The studies suggest that it increases the risk of cervical cancer, and more cases of cervical cancer surfaced during the studies. However, they are labeled non-conclusive. I have personal experience, though. I have cervical cancer with a negative HPV test - meaning I do not have HPV but still managed to get cervical cancer. I used the NuvaRing just under a year ago. I have no other causes for it - I do not smoke, I am not overweight, I do not have a weakened immune system, etc. The only factor that I had was the NuvaRing. I am not sure how doctors go about linking a diagnosis with a cause but there is not a doubt in my mind that this was caused by the NuvaRing.

HPV (human papillomavirus) causes all kinds of warts -- on your hands, feet, knees, and genitals. Some subtypes of HPV cause genital warts; a few high risk types can cause cancer, including cancer of the cervix, anus, penis, vulva, head, and neck. The types of HPV that cause warts are not the types that cause cancer. Genital Herpes is caused by a herpetic virus, is not related to warts, and is not linked to cancer like HPV is. However, having genital herpes AND HPV increases your risk of cancer from the HPV virus.
