Spermicides and urinary tract infection

Scientists who have recently investigated 1,200 young women claim that the risk of certain infections through spermicides is higher. If in sexual intercourse men have used monoxinol 9 spermicide along with condoms, the risk of acute cystitis through Escherichia coli in women is three times higher.

The massive use of these contraceptives in the prevention of sexually transmitted diseases, such as AIDS, also takes into account the risk of infection.
