Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

There was foreplay between me and my partner. Although I am still a virgin, his penis touched my vagina and he ejaculated on top of my vagina. Do I need to take pills as I do not want to get pregnant?

Kindly help.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I went through your query and understood your concern.

Any sexual contact involving the genitals can potentially lead to pregnancy, even if there was no penetration or ejaculation inside the vagina. Sperm can survive outside the body for a short period, and if it comes into contact with the vagina, it can still fertilize an egg. If you do not wish to get pregnant, it is important to take precautionary measures to prevent unwanted pregnancy. You can consider taking emergency contraception as soon as possible after the sexual encounter to increase its effectiveness. Emergency contraception is most effective when taken within 72 hours of unprotected sex, but can still be effective up to five days after. It is also recommended to use regular contraception, such as condoms, birth control pills, or other forms of birth control, to prevent unwanted pregnancy and reduce the risk of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) in the future.

I hope this has helped you.

Thanks and regards.
