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.

View allWhy do I get frequent urinary tract infections?
Recurrent UTIs (RUTI) are mainly caused by reinfection by the same pathogen. Having frequent sexual intercourse is one of the greatest risk factors for RUTIs. In a subgroup of individuals with coexisting morbid conditions, complicated RUTIs can lead to upper tract infections or urosepsis.

I'm really worried about something that's been happening and I hope you can help me out. I had protected sex a while back and noticed the condom had slipped a bit. A few days later, I found small bumps on my penis and went to a dermatologist who said it's molluscum contagiosum. They suggested I get a blood test after six weeks to check for things like HIV. I did the tests and thankfully they all came back non-reactive. I've been using the imiquad solution and the bumps seem to be shrinking, which is a relief, but now I'm dealing with penile discharge whenever I pass stool. Do you know what might be causing this or what I should do?
Its good to hear that your molluscum is improving with treatment. However, penile discharge during bowel movements may indicate an underlying issue, such as urethritis or infection. It would be best to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and to rule out any additional concerns.

It's important to address any concerns about sexual performance with your healthcare provider, as factors like stress, anxiety, or physical health may play a role. Instead of relying on capsules, focusing on relaxation, communication with your partner, and possibly seeing a specialist for personalized advice can be more effective for improving stamina.
