 A cervical cap is easy to use, and women, who use this device, are happy with the benefits they gain, but there are still a few side effects and risks associated with the use of this barrier contraceptive method.
There might be some inconvenience if you forget to remove the cap in time, and then there could be a risk for irritation and inflammation. Although cervical inflammation is very rare condition, it can still occur due to the growth of microorganisms on the cap. Therefore you must wash a cervical cap with antibacterial hand soap and rinse it with tap water after every use. It is also significant not to miss tears on the cap, since it diminishes the efficiency of a cervical cap for birth control. Since this barrier method of protection against pregnancy does not protect from HIV, additional barrier contraceptive methods are to be used during sexual intercourse.
Other disadvantage include the slip out of the cap during lovemaking. Therefore women could feel very uncomfortable and not relaxed during sexual intercourse, as they may worry about the position of a cervical cap in the vagina. Women should also be aware to use a water-based lubricant, if needed, since oil-based lubricants may decrease the efficacy of this birth control method . The correct position of the device is very important, so practicing how to place it correctly is actually not a bad idea.
Although a cervical cap is rather easy to use, it does not release hormones. This method of birth control is known to have very few side effects compared to other types of contraception. It is especially convenient to women, who for some reason cannot or do not want to use a hormonal method of birth control. Even though there are a lot of women worldwide who choose a cervical cap for protection against pregnancy and they are happy and satisfied with it, you have the right to decide and choose what best for you is.
