Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

My partner and I were intimate last month, and I did not penetrate but ejaculated near her groin. First, she washed her genitals thoroughly with water and cleared any secretions. Then, she took Meprate for five days and got her period (bleeding for seven days). This month, she again took Meprate for five days. She has fever, vomiting, and diarrhea on the second day after the course.

Is there any possibility that she is pregnant?

Answered by Dr. Reetika

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I understand your concern.

For pregnancy, the sperms have to be ejaculated or placed inside the vagina of the female. These sperms then need to fertilize an egg which needs to be implanted in the female's uterus. Once all this happens successfully, then the female is said to have conceived. In your case, there was no ejaculation inside the vagina hence no possibility of pregnancy. If you have ejaculated near the groin and she did wash the area properly, the sperms could not have traveled inside the vagina. The sperms survive for a few seconds in the open, so do not worry.

Vomiting, diarrhea, and fever are not related to pregnancy, and I suggest you consult your specialist doctor, discuss with them, and take the medicines with their consent.

Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

Thank you for the reply.

Is there a possibility that her symptoms are due to Meprate?

Answered by Dr. Reetika

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

I understand your concern.

I suggest a urine pregnancy test to determine if she is pregnant. Otherwise, it is a simple case of food poisoning.

Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

Thank you for the reply.

We cannot opt for a urine pregnancy test. However, last month after we were intimate, she got her period after seven days.

Is there a possibility that she might be pregnant after using Meprate?

To be sure, she retook Meprate this month, but after that, she developed a fever, diarrhea, and vomiting.

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

I understand your concern.

I suggest you take a urine pregnancy test with the first day's urine for an accurate result. Do not drink too much fluid before the test. Adhere to all guidelines written on the package of the pregnancy test kit. Update me with the test results.

Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

Thank you for the reply.

We cannot opt for a urine pregnancy test. Is there any other way?

We were intimate and did not penetrate; she got periods after seven days. This month, she had cramps because of Meprate and bleeding this morning.

Answered by Dr. Reetika

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

I understand your concern. As told earlier, a urine pregnancy test is unnecessary for your case, as the sperms were not ejaculated inside the vagina. A urine pregnancy test is only to put your anxiety to rest.

Else you need not worry. It is a normal fever with the change of season or maybe food poisoning.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
