How To Prevent Pregnancy After Unprotected Intercourse?
Question: Hi i have did sex before one week now i want to stop pregnancy. How its possible? Plz suggest me
Brief Answer:
TOO LATE TO PREVENT, WAIT FOR YOUR PERIODS.
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for writing to us with your health concern.
Emergency contraceptives can be taken maximum upto 72 hours after unprotected intercourse.
Other than that a reliable contraceptive should be used.
Now that unprotected sex has already occurred a week back, nothing can be done to PREVENT a pregnancy.
At the most , what can be done is early diagnosis and termination of a pregnancy if it occurs.
Wait for your periods.
If you skip your periods, then take a pregnancy test.
If positive, consult a gynaecologist at the earliest for medical abortion pills.
Avoid unprotected sex in future.
All the best.
Take care.
