Patient's question:
Female, 26 years old, just had sex with her boyfriend. We didn't use a condom because we don't like that feeling. But now we don't want to get pregnant. Is it true that rinsing with water after sex will prevent pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
You mentioned this situation, even if you clean the vagina immediately after cohabitation, there is still a possibility of pregnancy. Therefore, it is necessary to use contraceptive measures every time you have cohabitation, but avoid taking contraceptive pills frequently. You can use condoms instead. Don't hurry, first check if your cohabitation time is during your ovulation period. If it is, then there is a possibility of pregnancy, and you need to take measures to correct it. If it is not your ovulation period, then the chance of pregnancy will be a bit lower.
