Can you get pregnant while using a condom?
Disease description:
A few days ago, during intimacy with my husband, he didn’t use a condom initially and only put one on just before ejaculation. My period this month is late, and I’m feeling somewhat anxious—can pregnancy occur even when using a condom?

Hello,
There are numerous contraceptive methods available in clinical practice, and condoms are one of the most commonly used. However, condom use does not provide 100% protection against pregnancy; therefore, additional precautions are necessary. While correct and consistent condom use is highly effective for contraception, there remains a small chance of contraceptive failure. For this reason, employing dual protection (e.g., combining condoms with another reliable contraceptive method) is recommended to minimize the risk of unintended pregnancy.
We hope this information is helpful to you. Wishing you a happy and healthy life!
