Why this course

Your patients are asking about hormone-free contraception.

More and more women want contraception without hormones. For women who cannot use hormonal methods, or simply do not want to – the diaphragm is a safe, effective and underused option. Caya has simplified fitting significantly. One size fits over 85% of women. But knowing when Caya works, when it does not, and how to counsel confidently – that still requires training. This course gives you exactly that. In one hour.

A proven contraceptive option

The diaphragm is not a novelty – it is a reliable, hormone-free method that is right for many women. For those who cannot or do not want to use hormonal contraception, it is a meaningful addition to what you can offer.

Caya – and what to do when it does not fit

Caya covers a broad range – but not every woman. This course shows you when Caya is the right choice, when a multi-size diaphragm is needed, and how to explain a failed fitting to your patient clearly and confidently.

Diaphragm and NFP – a good combination

Combining the diaphragm with natural family planning offers high protection and greater self-determination for the patient. This course explains how to counsel both together.

No ultrasound required

Diaphragm fitting is older than sonography. It works on a standard examination table, without ultrasound, without speculum setting. This course teaches exactly that.

Moin.

A word of explanation: "Moin" is a greeting from northern Germany – short, direct, no fuss. It is how I start every lecture, every course, every newsletter. It suits me.

I am Dorothee Struck – gynaecologist, doctor of naturopathic medicine, and the author of several books on hormone-free contraception.

I have been fitting diaphragms for over thirty years. In my practice in Kiel, in hospitals across northern Germany, and in training courses for healthcare professionals since 1992.

The diaphragm is not a niche product – it is a safe, effective option that deserves a place in every practice. Cooper Surgical no longer supplies Europe. Without Medintim and Martin Kessel, there would be no diaphragms on the European market today. That is not an exaggeration.

This course exists because the knowledge should not disappear with the product availability. It is free because Medintim made it possible.
