Barrier Methods of Birth Control

For many years, the women become pregnant through any kind of material are insertedinto their vagina to prevent sperm block. One popular method involves a small piece ofnatural sponge soaked in vinegar. Although not the most effective form of contraception, itdid help. It also paved the way for today's generation of barrier methods.


How Barrier Contraception Works
The premise of barrier methods of contraception is very simple: block the path sperm into the uterus, and you can avoid becoming pregnant. The three main types of barriers are the diaphragm, the cervical cap and contraceptive sponge. When used with a spermicide, this form of birth control also helps prevent a pregnancy by killing sperm. All three types ofbarriers are used before sex, but they must be left according to sex in space for up to sixhours.

Female condoms are also used as a barrier method of contraception.
Who is it?
Not every woman is able to use this method of contraception. Women who have recently given birth or have an abortion should be a different way to use contraception until yourdoctor says it's okay. Furthermore, with weak vaginal muscles, frequent urinary tract infections, recent neck surgery or a history of toxic shock syndrome rule you as a candidate for this type of contraception.
