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 allI've been really worried because I've been doing masturbation a lot, maybe more than I should, and I feel like it's affected my stamina and energy levels. I think it's also impacted my size or maybe that's just in my head. Is there something I can do to get my stamina and energy back? Any advice would really help.
It's important to understand that occasional masturbation does not cause long-term harm, but excessive behavior might lead to temporary fatigue or decreased energy. To regain stamina, focus on a balanced diet, regular exercise, adequate sleep, and stress management. If you feel persistent issues, consider consulting a healthcare professional for personalized advice.

I'm dealing with an infection on my penis, and there's noticeable redness. I've already seen a dermatologist who advised me to take 500 mg of valacyclovir twice a day and use Fusidic Acid cream, but I've been on this treatment for a week now and I still don't see any improvement. Can you help me understand what kind of infection this could be and if there's anything else I should be doing? I'm getting quite concerned.

I'm a bit concerned because my testicles aren't tight when I get an erection, and this has only been happening for the past month. What worries me more is that when I go to poop, my testicles tighten up. Could you explain what's going on with this?
