Does water wash away sperm?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
While bathing can wash away some of the semen on the outside your vagina, it won't affect the sperm inside it. These sperm swim quickly to the uterus.

External Washing:
- Water can wash away sperm from the skin or external genital areas effectively.
-
Inside the Body:
- Once sperm enters the vagina, water or washing does not remove or kill it. Sperm can travel into the cervix and uterus, where water cannot reach.
-
Pregnancy Risk:
- Washing with water after intercourse is not a reliable method to prevent pregnancy.
For concerns about pregnancy or contraception, consult a healthcare provider for appropriate advice and options.

If the pain is severe or the stone is not passing, a more invasive procedure like percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) might be considered
