So, if you had a sexual intercourse with a stranger, or you are unsure of your partner being completely healthy, the best way is to see a doctor and get tested. Do not worry about this, because all the tests you can go through anonymously. And if there are problems, you will receive all urgent help. It's much better than waiting until there are signs of illness. Because it is much more difficult to treat the consequences than to prevent them.
But do not forget about the emergency methods that you must conduct in any case, regardless of the situation. These are such hygienic procedures, for example, as sanation with a solution of chlorogexidine (antiseptic) of the genitals.
Since it is not necessary to exclude the possibility of unwanted pregnancy, together with all procedures, emergency contraception is necessary. Such aids will help you avoid unwanted pregnancy, and later, and abortion.
There are preparations of so-called postcoital contraception. Their use within 24 hours after sexual intercourse with a 99% probability prevents unwanted pregnancy. But use of such funds should only in exceptional cases. Such cases include: rape of a woman, or if you have sufficient reasons to doubt the integrity of the condom, if the protective diaphragm has been displaced during sexual intercourse, and if those methods of contraception that you always use for some reason can not to be used
In no case do not resort to folk methods of emergency contraception. Because neither a slice of lemon, nor jumping on one leg, nor a hot bath will help you to protect yourself from unwanted pregnancy. Do not mislead yourself, and do not waste your time. All this can lead to undesirable consequences. Because not only is not effective, but also dangerous for health.
Pregnancy comes on day 5 after fertilization, so if it's been 72 hours after intercourse, it's not too late to turn to emergency contraception. These methods include hormonal contraception or the hormonal method. It is best to see a doctor and he will prescribe the hormone you need. The essence of it is that immediately after the act or for 72 hours to drink several tablets of hormonal contraceptive. Then re-drink again after 12 hours.
If you decide not to see a doctor, you must understand the full risk of what you are doing. In any case, do not take Postinor or Dinazol. These tablets have many side effects that may not have the best effect on your body. Remember that consulting a doctor is a guarantee of your health.
Taking such tablets causes nausea or vomiting. If you decide to take hormonal contraceptives, before eating, eat something sour or salty, or drink a glass of milk. If nausea could not be avoided, then take a second dose along with medications that will prevent vomiting.
Your actions will lead to the fact that in a few days you should not begin to bleed profusely, such as menstruation. If there is no bleeding, a pregnancy test should be done.
Such hormonal drugs often break the cycle, so you should observe the condition of your body, and be prepared for the fact that the next menstruation you can begin earlier or later than usual. It can also be accompanied by painful sensations. If you have any problems or suspicions that something goes wrong, or lasts more than seven days, be sure to show your doctor. And inform him that they were taking hormonal contraceptives.
It is necessary to consult a doctor even because absolutely not all women receive hormonal contraceptives. You can apply them only if you are sure that you are allowed to do so. If you are not among the women who can use contraceptives, you should resort to other methods.
For example, the establishment of a spiral (IUD). But this method is effective no later than the fifth day after sexual contact. The reliability of this method is very, very high, but the downside is that it does not suit everyone. If you suspect that you might become pregnant earlier, or you have a risk of contracting AIDS, or if you have serious gynecological diseases, then you are not allowed to put a spiral.
So, to avoid all these problems, of course, it is worth minimizing the possibility of unplanned or unprotected intercourse. But if this has happened, find an opportunity to see a doctor and he will choose an effective remedy for you and minimize the unpleasant consequences.
