A diaphragm is a method of birth control used by women. It is a soft, thin, dome-shaped rubber cup with a flexible rim. Spermicidal jelly is placed inside the dome. The diaphragm is placed high in the vagina to hold the spermicide against the cervix. The diaphragm comes in various sizes and must be fitted by a clinician to be effective.
The diaphragm acts as a barrier between the opening of the cervix and semen which contains sperm. The fit may not be tight enough to stop all the sperm from getting past the diaphragm; therefore, the spermicide is used to kill the sperm.
It can be inserted several hours before intercourse, but it must be left in the vagina for at least 6 hours following the last episode of intercourse. Additional spermicidal jelly should be inserted into the vagina before each act of intercourse without removing the diaphragm.
The diaphragm is not considered to be an effective method of protection against sexually transmitted infections.
ADVANTAGES
It is female controlled and does not require partner assistance
There is an immediate return to fertility as it offers contraception only when needed
It can be used for 2–3 years (if cleaned and stored properly)
It can be inserted several hours before intercourse
It can be left in for up to 24 hours total time (intercourse may be repeated in that time frame, however, additional spermicide should be inserted into vagina while leaving the diaphragm in place
DISADVANTAGES
Reduces spontaneity(the condition of being spontaneous)
