What has Pulmonary embolism got to do with a contraceptive like Nuvaring and what is Nuva ring pulmonary embolism are questions you might well ask. Pulmonary embolism is the blockage of the pulmonary artery or one of its other branches and usually occurs when a blood clot dislodges from where it was formed and travels or embolizes to the arteries supplying blood to the lings. Some of the symptoms of PE are difficulty in breathing; chest pain during breathing, and in severe cases may even lead to death. Using Nuvaring regularly doubles the risk of the user being afflicted with DVT or deep venous thrombosis or in simple terms - blood clots. The blood clots may start forming in the veins of the lower legs and thighs and if a blood clot dislodges from its formation point in the lower legs and travels to and gets lodged in the pulmonary artery, you could suffer a pulmonary embolism or PE or more specifically a Nuva ring Pulmonary embolism.

The other major side effect and danger of regular use of Nuvaring birth control is ischemic strokes or Nuvaring strokes. A stroke is basically rapid loss of brain functions due to a problem in the blood supply to the brain. The stroke can occur due to ischemia or the lack of blood supply to the brain, usually caused by thrombosis or an embolism or due to hemorrhage or internal bleeding. The result is that the affected area of the brain is unable to function, and leads to inability to move one or more limbs on one side of the body, inability to understand or formulate speech or inability to see one side of the visual field. A stroke is considered as a medical emergency and could cause permanent damage to the brain cells, major complications, and even death. As with pulmonary embolism, a stroke can be caused due to the blood clot formed in the lower legs traveling to the brain through the bloodstream and blocking an artery or vein. Strokes occurring in women using Nuvaring contraceptive are also called Nuvaring strokes.

Hundreds of women who have used Nuvaring birth control regularly have reported these problems and side effects of Nuva ring pulmonary embolism and Nuvaring strokes, and there are many lawsuits against the company manufacturing the contraceptive. It is not necessary that blood clots may occur in every woman that uses Nuvaring or that blood clots may lead to Nuva ring pulmonary embolism and Nuvaring strokes, but studies have shown that the risks are doubled while using Nuvaring. It is better to be aware of the warnings, side effects, and precautions, and consult your health service provider. It is better to be informed and safe than to be ignorant and sorry later.
