Patient's question:
Detailed medical condition and consultation purpose: I have been using condoms for contraception, but last night after removing it, my husband found that the condom had broken. It was the fifth day after my period ended. Could I be pregnant?Follow-up question: Thank you for your answer. Could you please suggest any effective methods to prevent pregnancy now?
Doctor's answer:
As long as ejaculation occurs inside the vagina, if the woman is in her ovulation period at that time, pregnancy may occur. Generally, about ten days after intercourse, symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, and breast tenderness may appear.You can go to the hospital for an hCG test. Usually, pregnancy can be detected around ten days after intercourse, which is the earliest and most accurate method. Using a pregnancy test kit, it is generally recommended to test one week after a missed period, preferably with morning urine for more accuracy.
