What's the impact if a condom slips off? And what should be done about it?
During the use of a condom, can there be an accidental slippage? The answer is yes. And this phenomenon occurs quite frequently. So, what impact will the slippage of a condom have on physical health? What should be done after the condom slips off?
Improper use of condoms:
Accidental rupture during sexual intercourse: For example, excessive amplitude during sexual intercourse, or the condom being accidentally scratched by fingernails or rings.
Incorrect condom size: Condoms that are too large or too small are likely to slip off inside the vagina or rupture during sexual intercourse, allowing semen to flow into the vagina.
Failing to carefully check the condom before use and using one with holes.
Not squeezing out the air in the small pouch at the front of the condom before putting it on.
Not withdrawing the penis from the vagina in time before it softens after ejaculation.
Not wearing the condom throughout the whole process: Some people are afraid that condoms will affect sexual sensation. They don't wear a condom even after getting an erection or at the beginning of sexual intercourse, and only put on a condom when they are about to ejaculate before reaching the climax of sexual excitement, which cannot guarantee the contraceptive effect.
Using improper lubricants: If petroleum - based lubricants, mineral oils, and vegetable oils such as Vaseline, baby oil, bath liquid, ordinary body lotion, butter, etc. are applied to the surface of the condom, these substances will damage the integrity of the condom.
Improper storage: Condoms will lose their strength when exposed to strong light, high heat, humidity, and an ozone environment.
Measures to deal with a slipped - off condom:
In case the condom slips off during sexual intercourse, the same condom should not be used continuously. The slipped - off condom should be removed, and a new one should be replaced before continuing. If the slipped - off condom is used continuously, the contraceptive effect cannot be guaranteed. If the woman does not take emergency contraceptives afterwards, there is a high possibility of getting pregnant.
When a condom slips off and remains inside the vagina, it should be taken out immediately because the components of the condom may irritate the folds of the vaginal wall. It is recommended to gently wipe the vulva with a wet tissue or a clean tissue. Lie down, clean your own hands or ask your partner to clean their hands, and then insert two fingers into the vagina to help take out the condom.
If you can't take out the slipped - off condom by yourself, you should seek help from a doctor at a nearby hospital in time.
