Douche Is Not Effective As Birth Control Measure Dear Gloria: I have tried the birth control pills after my first child and I couldn't take them. Then I tried birth control foam and I came up pregnant again. I am afraid to use the shield or any method that you insert because I may not get it inserted right. 1 don't want to have a tubal ligation. A friend told me that if I took a cold water douche right after intercourse, it will kill the sperm. I want to know if this is true and if not, what I can do.

Dear Mrs. L.: I am sorry that the foam method of birth control failed for you. Although using foam is certainly better than not using anything, it is not the most effective method, as you discovered. It is not true that a cold water douche (or any other kind of douche, for that matter) will kill all the sperm. Many, many sperm cells are released each time a man has a climax. It only takes a few seconds for some of the sperm to get far enough inside the woman's body so that no douche could reach them. So you can see that douching is not a safe method of birth control. Even foam is more effective than douching! If you can't take the pill. I suggest you go to a doctor and see about getting an 11D. such as the loop or the shield. An IUD in not inserted by the woman, but by the doctor. Once the doctor puts a shield or loop into your womb, you do not take it out. It slays in for as long as you want to keep from getting pregnant. You never have to worry about putting it in or taking it out. The doctor will show you how to check to see if it is still in place about once a week and that is all you liave to do. IUDs, such as the loop or shield, offer excellent protection against pregnancy, while birth control pills are presently the best method known, giving almost 100 - protection, the ll'D runs a close second, for it i? about 97% effective. No oihei method (except, of course, for sterilization) is neaiU as effective. I am enclosing a booklet which explains a little m?ne about these and other inethoJs of birth control. Let me kno* if you have further questions. Dear Mrs. Riggsbee; I have read lots of your articles in the paper and I have a problem about myself. I have asked many people about this. Will you please answer my question because I have worried about this a lot. I had my tubes tied about three years ago. Can they be un-tied? I want another child now. Mrs. R. Dear Mrs. R.: I think that if you have had your tubes tied, you probably should not hope for an operation to undo this. The reason is: when you have your tubes tied, the doctor cuts a little piece out of each tube. Then he stitches or ties the cut ends to close them up and keep them from joining back together. < The only way this can be un ? done is to try to sew these cut ends back together. Most of the time this does not work and the woman is still not able to get pregnant. Trying to put the tubes back together is a very big and a very serious operation. It is also very expensive and usually requires (i-7 days in the hospital. As I said before, even after all this, the operation frequently is not successful. This is why doctors always want their patients to be very sure they will not want any more children before they have their tubes tied. The same is true for the other two methods of sterilization -- laparoscope for the woman or vasectomy for the man. All three methods jre permanent. I know this is not what you Aant to hear, but these are the true facts. I don't want you to keep hoping for something that is almost impossible. * ? ?
