Patient's question:
I and my wife are not ready to have children right now, so we have been using contraception and have taken comprehensive precautions. However, recently I encountered a problem—my wife always feels that using condoms is not very safe, so she wants me to add a spermicide. I’m wondering whether to use a condom first or a spermicide first?Doctor's answer:
The lock ring is a novelty item used during sexual activity for both men and women, not a contraceptive device. It is worn on the male reproductive organ during sex to enhance the duration of sexual activity and prevent premature ejaculation. If the purpose is to prevent pregnancy, this is not necessary. Condoms are sufficient. Before each use of a condom, check to ensure it is not broken. Use the condom throughout the entire sexual activity, which is generally effective in preventing pregnancy.
