Patient's question:
I used protection with my boyfriend twice, but later found out the contraception had expired. Could this have caused pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
Condoms that have expired do not affect their contraceptive effectiveness, because as long as the condom is not broken, it can prevent the combination of sperm and egg, so pregnancy will not occur. Pay attention to menstrual and sexual hygiene. If your period is delayed by a week, you can go to the hospital for a check-up or use a test strip to confirm the diagnosis and rule out pregnancy. As long as there is no obvious break, it will not cause pregnancy. Don't worry.
