We use condoms for contraception, but there is always doubt in my mind about how safe they are. My question is about the effectiveness of condoms and the reasons they break.<\/p>\n
Once or twice the condom broke during intercourse. After that, for many days, we worried that a pregnancy might happen. Now every time there is a fear: what if it happens again? Because of this fear, intercourse no longer feels relaxed.<\/p>\n
I have heard that condoms are not one hundred percent safe, but I do not know how safe they actually are. I also do not understand why they break: wrong size, wearing it wrongly, an old condom or some other reason?<\/p>\n
I need guidance on these points:
\n– How effective is a condom in preventing pregnancy?
\n– What are the main reasons a condom breaks or slips?
\n– What is the correct way to put it on and store it?
\n– If a condom breaks, what should be done immediately, and within how much time?
\n– Does a condom also protect against sexual infections?
\n– Is it necessary to use another method along with the condom?<\/p>\n
We both want contraception to be safe and intimacy to be free of fear. Clear and practical guidance on this will be a great relief, and the same mistake will not happen again.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
