Question
A 28-year-old woman is considering her contraceptive options. She wants to avoid hormonal methods due to concerns about their side effects. She is also unsure about using intrauterine devices (IUDs). She is looking for a contraceptive method that she can control and that protects against sexually transmitted infections (STIs). She has heard about barrier methods and wants to learn more about them. Which of the following statements about barrier methods of contraceptives is true? They are only effective when used consistently and correctly. They have no side effects. They include hormonal implants and injections. They provide protection against STIs.
Solution
The true statement about barrier methods of contraceptives is: "They are only effective when used consistently and correctly" and "They provide protection against STIs".
Barrier methods of contraception, such as condoms and diaphragms, are designed to prevent sperm from reaching the egg. They are most effective when used correctly and consistently, meaning every time you have sex.
In addition, some barrier methods, particularly condoms, can provide protection against sexually transmitted infections (STIs).
However, it's important to note that no method of contraception is 100% effective, and barrier methods do not provide as high a level of pregnancy prevention as some other methods, like hormonal contraceptives or IUDs.
Also, while barrier methods generally have fewer side effects than hormonal methods, they are not completely without potential issues. Some people may have allergic reactions to the materials used in condoms or diaphragms, for example.
Finally, barrier methods do not include hormonal implants and injections. These are types of hormonal contraception, not barrier methods.
