what is diaphram in fertility control
1 answer
The diaphragm is a form of barrier contraception that is inserted into the to cover the cervix and prevent sperm from reaching the uterus. It is a dome-shaped, flexible silicone or latex device that is typically used in combination with spermicide to increase its effectiveness. The diaphragm must be fitted by a healthcare provider, and it needs to be inserted before sexual intercourse and left in place for at least six hours after intercourse. It provides a physical barrier to prevent pregnancy but does not offer protection against sexually transmitted infections (STIs).
