Many people are still not very familiar with the cervical cap, but it does not require medication or injections. It will not produce reactions to hormone drugs.
So, what is a cervical cap? Let's take a closer look at it together.
Uterine cap, what is it? Let's learn together about uterine cap.
The cervical cap, also known as the vaginal diaphragm, is a female-designed safe and effective contraceptive device.
The cervical cap (uterine cap) is made from a metal ring with a spherical thin rubber diaphragm, and the outer diameter of the ring is 50 mm, which corresponds to No. 50. Other sizes are 50, 55, 60, 65, 70, 75, and 80, in that order.
In our country, women are generally used in 65, 70 and 75 three models.
Function: With the cervix cap itself and the ejaculate cream applied before insertion, it serves as a barrier to prevent sperm from encountering and fertilizing the egg. The ejaculate cream is also capable of killing sperm or reducing their activity.
A cervical cap is an instrument used for contraception. So, how does it work? Let's take a closer look at this.
1. Prior to use, the examiner measures the distance from the posterior fornix of the vagina to the posterior edge of the ischial spine with their finger. This measurement assists in selecting an appropriately sized diaphragm.
Finally, we ask you to make a choice.
2. Check whether the diaphragm is damaged.
Then apply a little contraceptive jelly (a contraceptive cream that kills sperm) to the edges.
3. Take a semi-recumbent or semi-squatting position, slightly separate the legs, separate the labia with your left hand, and pinch the diaphragm into a strip with your right index finger, middle finger and thumb. Put the posterior edge into the posterior fornix, and the anterior edge against the pubic symphysis concave to cover the cervix.
4. Remove it 8 to 12 hours after intercourse.
The method is to use your index finger into the vagina.
Hook the edge of the cap on the back of the pubic bone, slowly pull it out, remove it, wash it with warm water or soapy water, dry it dry, coat it with the powder of powder and place it in a clean and dry box for next use.
In general, a vaginal diaphragm can be used repeatedly for two years.
Do not contact the vaginal diaphragm with oily substances (such as vaseline) to avoid damaging the latex film.
Advantages: Safety.
Wear it before sexual intercourse without taking medication or injections and will not produce reactions to hormonal drugs.
Long-term use will have no impact on your health and will not affect your sexual life.
After stopping the use, fertility opportunities can be restored. In addition, research data show that women who use barrier methods such as a diaphragm for contraception also have lower rates of contracting sexually transmitted diseases and cervical cancer.
Disadvantages: Due to the troublesome use of the vaginal diaphragm, there are not many users at present.
Contraindications for using a diaphragm The diaphragm is a hemispherical latex contraceptive device that is placed into a woman's tree-lined path before making out and covers the cervical opening. The diaphragm itself and the spermicidal cream applied before placing serve as a barrier to sperm and prevent the combination of sperm and eggs.
So, what are the contraindications for using a diaphragm? Let's take a look at it together.
1. Women suffering from genital inflammation such as vaginitis and severe cervical erosion should not use it, otherwise it will aggravate the condition.
2. Women with uterine prolapse, tight vagina, and loose vaginal wall should not use it because the vaginal diaphragm cannot be placed in the appropriate position.
3. In women with habitual constipation, the rectum is full of feces, which can change the shape of the posterior vaginal fornix and affect the correct placement of the vaginal diaphragm, so it is not suitable for use.
4. Women who are allergic to rubber and women who cannot correctly master the vaginal diaphragm placement technique should not be used.
Is the diaphragm effective? A cervical cap is a contraceptive device placed in the vagina that can be reused.
This method of contraception can only be used with the assistance of a doctor.
After the application of a speculum, the speculum can prevent sperm from entering the uterus and coming into contact with an egg cell.
Is the cervical cap effective in contraception? Let's take a closer look at it.
For women who have never been pregnant, the effectiveness of cervical caps is 86%. In 100 women who use cervical caps annually, only 14 will become pregnant accidentally.
For women who have had a pregnancy experience, the contraceptive success rate of the cervical cap drops to 71%.
This is because, after giving birth, it becomes increasingly difficult to insert a cervical cap.
Displacement of the cervical cap during sexual intercourse is the main cause of cervical cap contraceptive failure.
