Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Vaginal yeast infection can alter the contraceptive ability of a contraceptive sponge by reducing its effectiveness in preventing pregnancy. The infection can also make the sponge more difficult to insert or remove, leading to incorrect usage. Migraine headaches, strep throat, and urinary tract infections are not known to affect the contraceptive ability of a contraceptive sponge.
