Patient's question:
Hello 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. But I am still worried about residual semen remaining in the 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:
Ejaculation outside the body is not absolute contraception. The main reason for failure in the withdrawal method of contraception 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 contraceptive pills within 72 hours of sexual activity for better contraception.
