Question
Hello doctor,
I and my boyfriend used condoms because my little girl was dry and burning, after having sex, I washed it but I didn't see anything unusual, until The next afternoon, when I cleaned it, I saw that the plastic piece of the condom was left and there was white discharge, I thought it was due to tearing the condom. So the doctor told me to ask if the condom broke during sex, how should I handle it?

Answer
Hello,
With the question “How should a condom tear during sex? , please answer as follows:
Condoms tearing during sex, although it doesn't happen often, it's not uncommon. If the condom breaks after sex, you can still get pregnant. After detecting a condom tear, you should clean the intimate area, immediately take emergency contraceptive pills to prevent pregnancy effectively.
However, emergency contraceptive pills work when used within 24 hours of sex, if you take birth control pills within 72 hours of having sex, you only have 1 - 2% chance will get pregnant. Therefore, you should consider the use of medication.
Currently, 72h emergency contraceptive pills contain the active ingredient Levonorgestrel and are available in two types, 1 pill and 2 pills:
Type 1 pill taken only once. Type 2 pills are divided into 2 doses, the first pill is taken as soon as possible after sex and the second pill is taken 12 hours after the first pill. Both of these should be taken within 72 hours of unprotected sex.
If you still have questions about the tearing of a condom during sex, you can go to a medical facility or hospital under Vinmec Health System for the best advice. Thank you for trusting and asking questions to Vinmec. Wish you health.
