Always ready or what to do if the condom breaks?
s?
Every person has encountered such a situation at least once in their life. My condom broke badly. What should I do in this case?
First, we will analyze the situation from several angles. Then we begin to deal with all the problems that have fallen on our heads (and at the same time, if necessary, we urgently calm down).
First, we discuss the possibility of contracting very unpleasant diseases. These include STIs (sexually transmitted infections) such as chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis, candidiasis, trichomoniasis, genital herpes, hepatitis and, of course, HIV.
If the condom breaks, urinate copiously as soon as possible. Thus, a sufficient amount of infection is washed out of the reproductive tract. Then you should thoroughly wash the external genitalia and areas where biological material may get trapped (the pubis, scrotum, inner thighs, and even the lower abdomen) with soap and water. Don’t forget to wash your hands afterwards.
If possible, it is best for women to wash themselves using a disinfectant, such as a solution of miramistin, chlorhexedine, betadine or hexicon. Men should use these solutions and, within two hours, treat everything that was previously cleaned with these solutions.
If girls do not have disinfectants on hand, then plain water may be enough for dousing. Then wash all accessible external genitalia with soap and immediately go to the pharmacy to buy and administer disinfectant suppositories such as Betadine, Hexicon, etc.
After emergency surgery, consult a doctor, preferably an STD specialist. He or she will tell you what else can be done specifically for your situation and when you need testing to rule out the possibility of infection. But infection is only one side of the coin.
Now about unplanned pregnancy. After all, your sexual partner probably knows you quite well. There are three types of emergency contraception.
The condom broke. What to do?
The second, purely progestin-only medication is perhaps the most common and widely used Hungarian “Posner,” which contains levonorgestrel. According to WHO recommendations, one dose consists of two tablets. The first dose is taken within 72 hours. However, it is not without risks. That’s why it is called emergency contraception. Several courses of these pills per month can significantly affect the cycle and disrupt the normal course of menstruation.
Abroad, the drug “Norcolyte” was widely popular and earned the nickname “Highlight Tablet,” as it was widely used by young girls who indulged in reckless behavior during the holidays. Indeed, these campaigns lasted less than two weeks. The same applies to the maximum duration of use of Norcolut. Take 5 mg daily.
The third type are drugs that affect the production of the body’s own sex hormones. The most common of these are danazol and mifepristone.
Danazol is used twice after the condom breaks. It is used three times if it takes 48-72 hours to take the drug. However, many doctors are very skeptical about the action of Dinazol, citing insufficient knowledge of its mechanism. For some reason, Mifepristone was called a means of “medical mini-abortion.” But this is not so. This is not true, because such abortions do not occur on their own. On the contrary, synthetic antiprogestins prevent pregnancy even in single doses of 600 mg. And it has gained such “abortion” popularity. Since if you do not meet the 72 hours, you can take it at a dose of 200 mg from 20 to 27 days your cycle. And this coincides with timely (and often heavy) menstrual bleeding. And although the last pill is currently considered one of the most isolated methods of emergency contraception, it should not be abused.
