PHYSICAL METHODS
PHYSICAL METHODS Condom Condom is the most widely known and used barrier device by the males around the world. In India, it is better known by its trade name NIRODH. Condom is receiving new attention today as an effective, simple "spacing" method of contraception, without side effects. In addition to preventing pregnancy, condom protects both men and women from sexually transmitted diseases. Female condom The female condom is a pouch made of polyurethane, which lines the vagina. An internal ring in the close end of the pouch covers the cervix and an external ring remains outside the vagina. It is prelubricated with silicon, and a spermicide need not be used. It is an effective barrier to STD infection. However, high cost and acceptability are major problems.
Diaphragm The diaphragm is a vaginal barrier. Also known as "Dutch cap'\ the diaphragm is a shallow cup made of synthetic rubber or plastic material. It ranges in diameter from 5-10 cm (2-4 inches). It has a flexible rim made of spring or metal. It is important that a woman be fitted with a diaphragm of the proper size. The diaphragm holds the spermicide over the cervix. Vaginal sponge Another barrier device employed for hundreds of years is the sponge soaked in vinegar or olive oil, but it is only recently one has been commercially marketed in USA under the trade name TODAY for the sole purpose of preventing conception. It is a small polyurethane foam sponge measuring 5 cm x 2.5 cm, saturated with the spermicide, nonoxynol-9. The sponge is far less effective than the diaphragm, but it is better than nothing. The failure rate in parous women is between 20 to 40 per 100 women-years and in nulliparous women about 9 to 20 per 100 women years.
b. CHEMICAL METHODS a) Foams: foam tablets, foam aerosols b) Creams, jellies and pastes squeezed from a tube c) Suppositories inserted manually, and d) Soluble films - C-film inserted manually . C. COMBINED DEVICES Using chemical contraceptives with condoms is known as combined devices or method. It provides deep and double protection against pregnancy
