Patient's question:
Last night, I had sex with my wife. After I moved a few times inside, I came out and realized the condom was missing. It must have fallen inside. My wife and I were terrified. Now she's especially scared that she might get a disease, but she says she doesn't feel any discomfort in her stomach. We're too embarrassed to go to the hospital.What help do you need: What should I do if the condom fell inside?
Doctor's answer:
When the condom slips off the vaginal opening, you can first have the female partner squat to allow semen to flow out of her body. Then, take the following measures: the female should rinse her external genitalia, take emergency contraception pills, and undergo a sexually transmitted disease (STD) test. If the condom falls inside the vagina but the opening is still outside, simply gently pinch its base and pull it out. Remember, do not douch the vagina, as this can push sperm deeper instead. During sexual intercourse, such accidents may occasionally occur: the penis is withdrawn, but how did the condom stay inside? In such cases, experts recommend going to the hospital immediately to see a gynecologist who can dilate the vagina and remove the condom with forceps, as it is difficult to do this on your own.
