Several case-control studies suggest that the male condom protects women against some sexually transmitted diseases. The female condom is the first barrier device under the woman's control that may be effective in the prevention of sexually transmitted diseases.
To determine if appropriate use of the female condom decreased the rate of recurrent vaginal trichomoniasis in previously diagnosed and treated women.
One hundred and four sexually active women with vaginal trichomoniasis were treated with metronidazole and assigned to a group using the female condom or a control group during a 45-day period of continued sexual activity. Fifty women served as controls, and 54 women were assigned to use the female condom.
Only 20 women used the female condom each time they had sexual intercourse. Reinfection with trichomonas occurred in 7/50 (14%) controls, in 5/34 (14.7%) noncompliant users, and in 0/20 compliant users of the female condom.
The compliant use of the female condom is effective in preventing recurrent vaginal trichomoniasis.
多项病例对照研究表明,男用避孕套可保护女性预防某些性传播疾病。女用避孕套是首款由女性自主控制的屏障工具,可能对预防性传播疾病有效。
确定正确使用女用避孕套是否能降低先前诊断和治疗过的女性复发性阴道毛滴虫病的发病率。
104名患有阴道毛滴虫病的性活跃女性接受甲硝唑治疗,并在45天的持续性活动期间被分配到使用女用避孕套的组或对照组。50名女性作为对照组,54名女性被分配使用女用避孕套。
只有20名女性每次性交时都使用女用避孕套。对照组中7/50(14%)、女用避孕套非依从使用者中5/34(14.7%)发生毛滴虫再感染,而女用避孕套依从使用者中0/20发生再感染。
依从使用女用避孕套可有效预防复发性阴道毛滴虫病。
