Patient's question:
I have already had one child. Because I don't want a second child, my husband and I always use condoms during sexual intercourse. However, two months ago, when my husband and I had sex, I also used a condom. But for some reason, I found out yesterday that I was pregnant when I went to the hospital. Since I don't want this child, I had to have an abortion. I would like to ask the doctor how to use safer contraception.Doctor's answer:
Safe contraception can be achieved by avoiding the ovulation period, engaging in sexual activity during the safe period, and using condoms during the safe period. This dual approach can effectively prevent pregnancy. The ovulation period generally occurs four days before and five days after the 14th day before the next menstrual period, totaling nine days. However, this method is only applicable to women with regular menstrual cycles. In cases of irregular menstruation, ovulation can be confirmed using ovulation test strips.
