Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Barrier methods physically block the meeting of egg and sperm by creating a physical barrier between the two, such as condoms or diaphragms. Hormonal methods and behavioral methods do not necessarily prevent the meeting of egg and sperm, but instead work to prevent pregnancy by altering the hormonal balance in the body or by timing sexual activity to avoid fertile periods. Surgical methods, such as vasectomy or tubal ligation, permanently prevent fertilization by cutting or blocking the tubes that transport sperm or eggs.
