Suggest Contraceptive Measures After Having Unsafe Sex
Hi,I did have sex with my wife without using condom, but did a pull out method and ejaculated outside, not near her genital areas. She is now worried of pregnancy chances inspite of pull out.. Her periods starts from 20th. What are the precautions that she can take now ?
Hello, Thanks for posting in HCM. If you want to be sure to avoid pregnancy then you can take i pill which is easily available in any pharmacy. But it is effective within only 72 hrs of having unprotected sex. So if it is not yet 72 hrs you can get that pill and your wife can have it. If it is already above that time period, wait till her periods come naturally. If they dont come for 1 week after the expected date she needs to take misoprostol tablet orally for which it is better to take prescription from a doctor. I hope i have answered your query well. Thank you.
