Patient's question:
Doctor, I am a 17-year-old girl, and this is my first time having sex with my boyfriend. Before he came, he suddenly pulled out and outside. But I am still worried that there may be residual semen in my vagina. Do I need to take emergency contraception? Which one is better? Besides taking medication, what else should I pay attention to?Doctor's answer:
Withdrawal is not a completely effective form of contraception. The main reason for failure in the withdrawal method is that if the male does not withdraw the penis in time during ejaculation, some semen may be released into the vagina, leading to pregnancy in the female. It is recommended that you take birth control pills within 72 hours of sexual activity for contraception. In fact, in general, practicing any form of contraception can be harmful to the pregnant woman. Therefore, patients should pay attention to their own diet. Contraceptive users should pay attention to their own care, such as dietary regulation and maintaining warmth to avoid catching a cold.
