Burning sensation on the NuvaRing?

I can't give you an official answer, but from personal experience yes. I suffered from intense burning sensations while on the nuva ring especially after intercourse. I also looked into the issue, and have found that many women suffer from this as well. It isn't however listed as an official side effect. The best advice I can give you is to stop using it and switch to a new form on birth control, if you still are suffering from the burning sensation you should probably seek medical help. Some STD's can also cause vaginal irritation, and it is wise to also check for these.hope I could be of some help
