Patient's question:
I have been divorced for over a year. Because I am not ready for children for now, we have been using condoms for contraception and breastfeeding. The last time we had sex, I don't know what happened, but the condom fell inside the vagina. Now I don't know what to do. How should I handle a situation where the condom falls inside the vagina?Doctor's answer:
If an object falls into the vagina, a dilator needs to be used to locate it, and then it can be removed. If it is not removed, it may remain in the pelvic cavity for a long time, potentially causing local inflammation, reinfection, and increased likelihood of adhesion. This can then affect future childbirth. In such cases, it is necessary to visit a gynecological department of the hospital for relevant examinations to locate the position of the condom, and once found, it can be removed without further interference.
