Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I had unprotected intercourse with my partner last week. He rubbed any precum off before he inserted it and was inside for 10-20 seconds and then pulled it out. He did not ejaculate in me. My period is delayed. I am not experiencing any other symptoms besides PMS. Should I be worried?

Answered by Dr. Arpit Varshney

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I have read your concern in detail and will surely help you out. The chances of getting pregnant with the scenario you described are next to minimal. Precum does not cause pregnancy easily as it is very low in sperm quantity. Also, your partner was inside only for 10-20 seconds and did not ejaculate inside you, making you getting pregnant even less likely. So I suggest you get it evaluated.

You will need a few tests and medicines for missed or delayed periods like thyroid function tests, prolactin, ultrasound abdomen to rule out PCOD (polycystic ovarian disease). Once the correct diagnosis is established and the proper treatment is started, you will be fine within two weeks. All I conclude is that your missed or delayed periods are not due to pregnancy but some medical reasons.

Hope this helps.

Kindly revert in case of further queries.
