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've been noticing recently that my urine flow seems to be slower than usual, and even after I finish urinating, it feels like I'm not completely done. It's a bit concerning because I keep expecting to have to go again soon, but it never really happens. Any idea what might be going on? Should I be worried about this, or is it something that might resolve on its own?
I went through your query...... Drink plenty of water. Water helps to dilute your urine and flush out..... Avoid drinks that may irritate your bladder. ....Avoid coffee, alcohol, and soft drinks containing citrus juices or caffeine until your problem has cleared. They can irritate your bladder and tend to aggravate your frequent or urgent need to urinate...... Consult Physician....

Hey, so I've got this friend who's been masturbating like 45 times a week for about three years now, and I'm really worried about him. Could this have any negative effects on him now, or even down the road? And, like, considering he's a student, is it healthy to be doing it that much? Are there any downsides or anything he should be concerned about? If there are issues, could you let me know what steps he might take to make up for any harm that's already been done?
it's a urinary track infection
