A condom is the most popular barrier contraceptive and contraceptive in general. Using such a rubber product is simple, you do not need to consult a doctor and take care to take pills strictly at the same time, condoms are inexpensive, and protect not only from unwanted pregnancy, but also from STIs. But what if the condom remained inside during sex? Such cases are quite common.
Why can a condom stay inside?
If the condom slides from the partner's genitals during intercourse and remains in the partner’s vagina, then this can turn into an unpleasant problem. How can this even happen? In most cases, a product that is completely defective is to blame for such a nuisance.
Can slip the wrong size condo. What are condoms? Most barrier contraceptives today come in standard sizes. These are suitable for most men. The standard size is considered to be 17 cm long and 5.2 cm wide.
What are condoms (if standard ones do not fit)? There are products labeled snug size, which are smaller than usual, and magnum size, that is, large. Some men may need XXL, Extra, or Plus condoms. Such products typically have a size of 20 cm in length and 5.6 cm in width.
The size of the condom should be fully consistent with the size of male dignity. If you choose "for growth", then the likelihood that the product will slip during sex, increases significantly.
The protector may slip off when the ejaculation has already occurred and the erection begins to decrease. The condom holds much better on the erect penis, so you need to hold it by removing the penis from the girl’s vagina after ejaculation.
A condom can slip if there is insufficient lubrication or, conversely, too much. The first case is rare, but the reason may be the use of an oil-based lubricant (these cannot be used with condoms). If there is a need for additional lubrication, then it is worth using special lubricants of well-known companies.
What should be done immediately if the condom remains inside?
Did the contraceptive slip off the penis and remain inside the partner’s vagina? The situation is unpleasant, but not critical. What to do if the condom remains inside? We must try not to panic and not blame the partner, because what happened is an accident.
It is important to know that the condom that remains in the partner’s vagina will not go anywhere, because there is no exit to the abdominal cavity. The depth of the vagina in an unexcited state is on average about nine centimeters, and the cervix is a natural and reliable obstacle.
What to do if the condom remains inside the girl? An attempt should be made to pull it out, but everything should be done very carefully and without rushing. You can remove the product from the vagina only with your fingers. Do not use any foreign objects, including any tweezers, forceps or knitting needles, because this can damage internal organs.
How to safely remove the product from the vagina?
What to do if the condom remains inside? You need to calm down, because the situation is not so unique as it might seem. A woman can take out a condom on her own or her partner. In any case, you need to act very carefully.
First you need to wash your hands very well using regular or liquid soap. A woman is better to lie on her back and bend her knees. You need to dilute them as wide as possible to facilitate access to the vagina. For convenience, a small pillow can be placed under the buttocks.
When all preparations are finished, you need to insert the middle and index fingers into the vagina, and then slowly move them inward, feeling everything in a circle and trying to find a condom. It is important not to damage the mucous membrane with your nails. You need to act very carefully. The rubber product must be carefully grabbed with your fingers and pulled out without sudden movements.
Perhaps the procedure will be more convenient for the partner to do. Firstly, it is simply more convenient for him to gain access to the partner’s vagina, and secondly, in men, as a rule, the fingers are longer than in women.
What should I do if I can’t get a condom?
If the condom remained inside (in the vagina), and it was not possible to remove it yourself, then you will have to visit the gynecologist's office. This situation does not require calling an ambulance or searching for a hospital on-call at night, but you should not postpone a visit to the clinic. Better go to the reception the next morning.
Most likely, for the doctor this situation is quite ordinary, and the extraction procedure will take only a few seconds. But you need to see a doctor not only to remove a slipped condom. In the first few hours after sex, it is possible to prevent infection with sexually transmitted diseases, you may need to make an urgent smear from the vagina.
It is important that before the product is removed, any measures to prevent STIs or unwanted pregnancies will be ineffective.
What to do after removing the condom from the vagina?
Did the condom remain in the vagina? It can be pulled out independently or with the help of a doctor. But then you need to take measures that will protect the man and woman from the undesirable consequences of an act of love without protection. Contact is considered to be just such, during which a condom slid from the male organ.
With unprotected sex, infection with dangerous sexually transmitted diseases, such as chlamydia, ureaplasmosis, trichomoniasis, gonorrhea and others, is possible. Everything possible must be done to prevent the development of pathology.
Immediately after removing the condom, the woman should wash her genitals with plenty of water and Miramistin. You can use a solution or ointment. The use of this drug can prevent the development of sexual infection, but only if Miramistin is used in the first two hours after sex without protection.
It is advisable for both a woman and a man to see a doctor to take preventive measures to prevent STIs. If necessary, the specialist will conduct treatment.
The condom remained inside: can I get pregnant or not?
The probability of conception can be determined depending on the quantity and quality of seminal fluid that is found on the genitals or genital tract of a woman, as well as the phase of the menstrual cycle. Even a small amount of sperm with active sperm can fertilize the egg under suitable conditions (during ovulation).
If the condom remains inside, then sexual intercourse is considered unprotected, that is, the probability of pregnancy exists. Significantly increases the risk on the day of ovulation or shortly before it.
Ovulation usually occurs in the middle of a cycle. For example, with a standard cycle lasting 28 days, the most dangerous days are 12-16 from the beginning of the last menstruation. You need to know that spermatozoa remain viable in a woman's body for about 7 days.
Should I take emergency contraception?
So, if sexual intercourse occurred at the estimated time of ovulation or shortly before it, then you need to think about protection from unwanted pregnancy. It is necessary to take emergency contraception drugs, accurately following all the recommendations set forth in the instructions.
For emergency contraception, hormonal drugs are usually used. The modern drug is Ginepriston. Compared to the popular “Postinor”, it is a practically harmless remedy. Use tablets for seventy-two hours after unprotected intercourse. Within ninety-six hours after contact, you can use the Escapel. But it is important to remember that the sooner the tablet was taken, the more effective its effect.
Do I need to do a pregnancy test?
If emergency contraception has not been used, then two to three weeks after sex you need to do an express pregnancy test. So you can make sure that conception did not happen. If this is not the case, you will have time to decide whether to maintain or terminate the pregnancy.
