What is the contraceptive rate of condoms?

Patient's question:

I am still a student, but I often go into a hotel room with my boyfriend. Every time after we have sex, I feel very worried about getting pregnant. Even though my boyfriend uses a condom, I still worry about getting pregnant. I don't feel very safe. I want to consult a doctor about the effectiveness rate of condoms during breastfeeding.

Doctor's answer:

When having sexual intercourse while breastfeeding with a condom, it is highly unlikely to get pregnant under normal circumstances. This breastfeeding method has a relatively high success rate, so you don't need to worry too much. In such cases, unless the condom develops a leak or rupture, or if sperm enters the vagina, there is a possibility of an accidental pregnancy. If this happens again, you can consider taking emergency contraception within 72 hours to correct the situation.
