Is it likely to get pregnant if a condom is pierced by a needle?

Patient's question:

Female, 21 years old, had sex with her boyfriend yesterday and used a condom. What we didn't realize was that the condom had a hole. Please ask, what is the chance of pregnancy if the condom was pierced by a needle?

Doctor's answer:

According to your description, after breastfeeding, it is generally recommended to use a condom. If the condom is broken, as you mentioned with small holes, there is a possibility of pregnancy. Pregnancy cannot be completely ruled out. If your period does not arrive one week after being delayed, it is recommended to undergo a blood hCG test. If the value is below normal, the diagnosis is pregnancy. If the value is normal, pregnancy is ruled out.
