Abstract:
:Despite the problems associated with coitus-dependent methods of contraception, barrier methods have an important role. The fact that they work as contraceptives without systemic effects makes them particularly appropriate for women with medical conditions that prevent the use of hormonal contraception. In addition, condoms and perhaps all barrier methods provide protection from sexually transmitted infections, making them essential for sexually active women at risk for STDs. Their continued importance is evidenced by the ongoing research to develop and improve barrier methods of contraception.
