Hello there.  I can understand your concern.  Condoms are for single use, if used properly, they are 99% effective in preventing pregnancy and other sexually transmitted infections. Consult a general physician in person for further evaluation and management.  Best regards. Dr. Anil kumar jain. Bangalore.
