Question
Hello doctor,
I just had sex today and used a condom, but then when I stopped having sex, I checked and discovered that the condom was pricked with a needle and possibly had some sperm on it. into the vagina. Currently, the female friend is in a safe period because the menstrual cycle is calculated. The doctor asked me, is it okay if the condom has a small hole? What should I do to be more secure?
