ANS: 1 Barrier methods INclude over-the-counter spermicidal products and condoms. Spermicidal products (e.g., creams, jellies, foams, and sponges) are put INto the vagINa before INtercourse to create a spermicidal barrier between the uterus and ejaculated sperm. A condom is a thIN rubber sheath that fits over the penis to prevent entrance of sperm INto the vagINa. VagINal spermicides and condoms are most effective when INstructions are carefully followed; their combINed use is more effective IN preventINg pregnancy than the use of either one alone. While a vasectomy may be reversed, it is very DIfficult and results cannot be guaranteed. The remaININg options are correct.
