Medical Video: Semen Analysis (Sperm Count)
Sperm may leak out of the vagina. Especially if you have sex without a condom and you or your partner ejaculates inside. Even though you might be surprised when this happens, it turns out that the sperm that comes out from the vagina is normal.
Why can sperm leak out of the vagina again?
To understand how sperm can leak out, you need to understand how the vagina works and penis ejaculation. The vagina will expand and provide space for the penis during penetration. However, after the penis ejaculates and exits the vagina, the vagina will not automatically close the meeting.
The vagina does become more tight as before after penetration, but certainly does not close at all because there are still openings in the lips of the vagina. Male semen containing sperm then exits the opening.
The possibility of sperm coming out becomes even greater if after sex, the woman immediately stands up. Gravitational force will push the sperm down and eventually out through the vaginal opening.
Does it mean there are certain problems or diseases?
Relax, sperm that leaks after sex does not usually indicate sexual problems or certain diseases. The reason is that each man's semen is volume, consistency, and the texture is different. Some are very thick, but some are runny. If semen containing sperm tends to runny and the volume is quite large, it will certainly be easier to leak out after sex.
Can you still get pregnant if sperm leak after sex?
According to obstetricians from the United States, Dr. Michele Hakakha, sperm out after sex can still make pregnant. Because, once ejaculated, men can produce 20-400 million sperm cells in their semen. If the penis ejaculates in the vagina, some of the sperm will enter the cervix. While the rest will stick to the vaginal wall or pour out of the vaginal opening.
However, there are still sperm cells that successfully enter and can fertilize the egg. You only need one sperm cell to get pregnant. So, the chance of pregnancy still exists even though after sex sperm comes out again from the vagina.
Prevent sperm from coming out after sex
If you feel uncomfortable with sperm coming out after sex, you can use a condom when making love. You can also make sure to ejaculate right when the penis has entered the vagina deep enough. Also, prepare a towel or cloth near the bed to dry yourself after sex.
To prevent sperm from coming out without penetration, you can choose safer sex positions. For example the missionary position (man above). After penetration, you should still lie down while propping up your thighs with a pillow or bolster. That way, the position of the vagina is slightly raised so that sperm cannot flow out.
Avoid sex positions that will make sperm down and out of the vagina. For example the woman above (woman on top or cowgirl), doggy style, or sex while standing.
