Dear Doctor:

I am anxious to get your help. I know the spermicide, Nonoxynol-9, is inside and outside some condoms. If the condom fails when we are using it, will the spermicide cause future baby defects?

How does spermicide, Nonoxynol-9, work? I am told that Nonoxynol-9 reduces active sperms. So, is it possible that a sperm is somehow-hurt by spermicide, Nonoxynol-9, and still afterwards successfully conceive a baby (maybe with defects) with an egg?

Your prompt reply will be greatly appreciated!

Thank you.
