Patient's question:
Please ask the doctor, my husband has tried many types of contraception methods. He used a long-term birth control pill for ten months, but I didn't react well to that medication—it caused my body to swell. We have stopped using it for two months. But now I'm pregnant again, so we have to resort to medication-induced abortion. Last year, at the same time, I also had a medication-induced abortion. Please ask, is there anything that can help repair the already damaged uterus?Also, please ask the doctor, we want to use the Nonoxynol-9 film for contraception. What should we pay attention to? We haven't used this before and are afraid of making mistakes unintentionally. Does this have any side effects?
Doctor's answer:
This product contains 50 mg of the active ingredient nonoxynol-9 per sheet, with excipients including polyvinyl alcohol, glycerin, and preservatives (ethyl paraben). It is a non-ionic surfactant that kills sperm or renders them immobile by reducing the surface tension of the sperm lipid membrane and altering their osmotic pressure, making it difficult for them to penetrate the cervix and fertilize the egg, thereby achieving contraceptive effects. If possible, it is best to avoid using it, as "all medicines have side effects."!!
