Which doctor should be consulted after unprotected sex?

If you experience any of these symptoms, you should go to the emergency room immediately; they can be serious if you wait.

• Severe abdominal or pelvic pain
• Excessive bleeding or fainting
• Shortness of breath, chest pain, or loss of consciousness
• Widespread rash accompanied by severe allergic symptoms (such as swelling and shortness of breath)
• High fever or general malaise

These situations are emergencies; call 112 or go to the nearest emergency room.

The appropriate specialist will vary depending on the type of concern you have. Prompt referral is important for both pregnancy and infection risks.

• For concerns about pregnancy risk, missed period, or emergency contraception: See a gynecologist or family physician/health center.
• For suspected sexually transmitted infections (STIs): Infectious Diseases and Clinical Microbiology or Dermatology and Venereal Diseases. If the man has genital complaints, Urology will also evaluate him.
• For general or rapid referrals: Family physicians, emergency rooms, or sexual health clinics can be starting points.

If there is any uncertainty about which specialty is appropriate, your family doctor can provide a quick referral.

The types of assessments that can be performed in a healthcare facility vary depending on the situation. These assessments are not intended for diagnosis; they are solely for referral and planning of necessary investigations.

• Pregnancy test and examination
• Blood and urine tests and general evaluation.
• Sexually transmitted infection screenings and examinations
• Imaging or further testing referral if necessary.

Only a healthcare professional's examination can determine which tests are necessary.

Some preventative measures and assessments are time-limited; prompt application provides more options and more accurate guidance.

• Certain urgent assessments related to HIV exposure or pregnancy are time-sensitive.
• If you are unsure what to do, seek medical attention or contact your family doctor as soon as possible.
• Even if it's not an emergency, schedule an appointment for evaluation if symptoms persist.

Timeframes and necessary steps vary depending on the patient's condition; consult a healthcare professional for precise information.
