What should I do when the condom breaks?
When condoms breaks, one of the methods of emergency contraception should be applied. For this, emergency contraception pills, Morning-After Pills can be used. Another method of emergency prevention is to attach a spiral after the sexual intercourse, but the use of the Morning-After Pills are more practical and more preferred. With these methods, it can not be guaranteed that the pregnancy will be precisely prevented, but it provides about 95% high protection. It should be kept in mind that pregnancy may be possible after taking these pills, and pregnancy test should be performed if there is a menstrual delay. The delay of menstruation may also occur due to the effects of these pills.
To minimize the risk of breaking the condom, glycerin can be applied on the condom. Materials such as baby oil and hand cream should not be applied. The expiry date of the condom must be observed and should not be kept in extremely hot, sun-exposed places. It should be kept in cool place in normal room temperature .
