Patient's question:
Hello doctor, I am 27 years old. Recently, I started dating a girlfriend. When we spend time together at night, it gets very exciting, and then we have sex. But the condom I was wearing broke. I'm quite worried that she might get pregnant, so I wanted to ask if there's a need to take medication when the condom breaks?Doctor's answer:
If a condom is used during sexual activity but is later found to be rusted, sperm may still enter the vagina in this situation. In this case, it is best to take emergency contraception orally and continue breastfeeding. The effectiveness of emergency contraception is very high when taken within 72 hours after intercourse on an empty stomach, achieving a success rate of over 98%.
