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.

I'm having some trouble with my erection and I'm worried. When I take Megalis, it seems to help a bit, but I'm noticing the glans of my penis isn't getting as hard as the rest. I'm really looking for a permanent fix for this. Can you give me some advice on what I should do?
It sounds like you may be experiencing issues with erectile function beyond just the physical erection of the penis. While Megalis can help with erectile strength, persistent issues with the glans may indicate a need for further evaluation. I recommend consulting a urologist to rule out any underlying conditions and explore more targeted treatment options.
