Do condoms or friction cause UTI or stomach pain?

Question

Hello doctor,

I am feeling very anxious. My partner and I engaged in external genital rubbing for pleasure. I was wearing a condom and she had her underwear on. However, at one point, the condom broke, and a small amount of pre-ejaculation came into contact with her underwear. I am worried whether this could lead to pregnancy. Later, I noticed her underwear was moist, likely due to mutual arousal. Since then, she has reported discomfort while urinating, a sensation that her bladder is not completely emptying, along with lower back pain and both upper and lower abdominal pain for the past two days. Our activity occurred approximately eight to 10 days after her period, and her ovulation was predicted by some app to occur in about four days. Lastly, could this situation possibly cause a urinary tract infection (UTI), especially since some condoms may contain chemicals that could irritate sensitive areas?

Please help.

Thank you.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I understand your concern.

I would like to clarify how pregnancy occurs. First, there must be a male and a female, and intercourse must take place; specifically, there must be at least penetration of the penis into the vagina. If you are certain that no penetration occurred, whether with or without a condom, then I can assure you that there is no need to worry about pregnancy. However, if the incident occurred within the last 72 hours and there is still concern, you may consider taking an emergency contraceptive pill for peace of mind.

Recommended:

Take tablet Levonorgestrel 0.75 mg – single dose, to be taken immediately.

As for urinary complaints such as incomplete emptying, lower abdominal pain, and back pain, these may be related to a urinary tract infection (UTI). For that, I suggest the following:

Increase water intake.
Tablet Ciprofloxacin 500 mg (milligrams) – Twice daily for three days.
Tablet Naproxen 500 mg – Twice daily for two days (for pain relief).

I hope this helps.

Kindly follow up if you have more concerns.

Thank you.
