Does water wash away sperm?

Doctor 1

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.

  1. External Washing:

    • Water can wash away sperm from the skin or external genital areas effectively.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.

Hey, I've been on Rosuvas F for about 3 months now and my triglycerides have gone down from 236 to 118, which is great. But over the last 20 days, I've noticed my RBCs, WBCs, and platelet counts have decreased, with my WBC dropping from 8200 to 4200. Could this be linked to the BP meds I'm on? My BP has improved from 160100 to around 10565 to 12580. Also, I found out from a USG scan that I have a fatty liver and a 2mm kidney stone. Another scan showed epididymitis with funiculitis. Should I be worried about this epididymitis with funiculitis and if yes, what kind of specialist should I see or treatment should I consider? Appreciate any advice.

1. Is there anything to do with BP tablets and reduced rbc, wbc? Or fatty liver? It is unlikely that the reduced RBC and WBC counts are directly related to your BP medication. However, the presence of fatty liver can contribute to abnormalities in blood cell counts. To address this issue, you may consider discussing with your doctor about switching to a different BP medication that is less likely to affect blood cell counts. Additionally, managing your fatty liver through lifestyle modifications such as a healthy diet and regular exercise can also help improve your blood cell counts. 2. Should I be worried about epididymitis with funiculitis, if so which specialist or what of treatment should I have? Epididymitis with funiculitis is a condition that involves inflammation of the epididymis and spermatic cord. It is important to seek medical attention from a Urologist for further evaluation and management. Treatment may involve antibiotics to address any underlying infection, pain management, and supportive measures such as rest and elevation of the scrotum. Follow up with the Urologist is crucial to monitor your condition and ensure appropriate treatment.
