How to manage when a condom slips off during ejaculation?
Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I had protected sex with my partner, but somehow the condom came off and was stuck inside my vagina when he ejaculated. So, the majority of the semen went outside of my vagina, but still, as a precaution, what should I do? How safe is it? I do not want to take any contraceptive pill.
Kindly help.
Thank you.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I read your query and understood your concern.
First of all, you had sex five days after your period started, you were not yet in your fertile period when you had sex, and there is no chance of pregnancy. The risk of pregnancy is only increased if the interval between your periods is less than 26 days.
But if the interval between your periods is more than 26 days, there is no chance of pregnancy, and there would be no need to take emergency pills. Also, condoms are effective in protecting against pregnancy, as, apart from being a barrier, they also contain spermicidal agents that damage sperm ejaculated into them.
Also, provided the ejaculation did not occur inside your vagina but outside, as you have described, there is nothing to be concerned about. The condom was stuck inside your vagina, and part of the semen was outside. There is no risk for pregnancy.
When using a female condom, the condom is inside the lady (stuck in, like in your case) when the man pulls out. We are only at risk if the condom slips off during sex or tears during sex, and the sperm is released directly into the vagina.
So, in summary, there is no risk for pregnancy, and there is no need to take emergency pills as you were not in your fertile window then, and the condom was still stuck in your vagina when some of the semen was released outside.
I hope that this answers your query.
Kindly follow up if you have more doubts.
Thank you.
Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
Thank you for the reply.
He was using a condom, and when he ejaculated, the condom was still inside my vagina, and most of the semen went outside. So, if some of the semen went inside, is there a high risk of pregnancy that I should take a contraceptive pill, or is it okay not to, as I had very bad side effects from it in the past?
Kindly help.
Thank you.
Hello,
Welcome back to icliniq.com.
I read your query and understood your concern.
Even if some semen went inside (which I very much do not think is possible), there will still be no risk of pregnancy, as you were not within your fertile window when the sex occurred. So, there is still no need to take any emergency contraceptive pills.
I hope that this answers your query.
Kindly follow up if you have more doubts.
Thank you.
