Can semen really get through clothes? I've heard that sperm can move with seminal fluid and get through two layers of clothing. Should I be worried about this?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Yes, it is possible for sperm to pass through two layers of clothing along with seminal fluid. However, the chances of sperm successfully reaching the vagina and resulting in pregnancy in this scenario are very low. To reduce the risk of pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections, it is important to use proper protection such as condoms.

When addressing your concern about semen passing through clothes, it's important to understand a few key points:
-
Semen and Clothing: Semen can be absorbed by fabrics but does not actively move through multiple layers of clothing on its own.
-
Sperm Movement: Sperm are microscopic cells within seminal fluid and cannot swim through clothing layers.
-
Pregnancy Risk: For pregnancy to occur, sperm need to be deposited inside the vagina. Semen on the outside of clothing, especially with two layers, is very unlikely to result in sperm reaching the vaginal canal.
-
Hygiene and Precautions: If concerned about semen on clothing, changing clothes and washing the area can help reduce any minimal risk.
In summary, you generally do not need to worry about sperm moving through two layers of clothing. If you have specific concerns about contraception or sexual health, consulting a healthcare provider can provide personalized advice and reassurance.

View allI've been having this weird leg pain, mostly in my right leg, and it happens right before I need to pee. The pain goes away once I've urinated. What might be causing this?
The leg pain before urinating, especially in the right leg, could be related to various factors, including urinary tract infections, kidney stones or nerve compression; however, a possible cause is also obturator nerve compression or irritation, which can radiate pain to the leg, especially before urinating, and relief after passing urine.

I recently realized I have an undescended right testicle I can feel it just above the penis on that side. Is it still possible to descend the testicle at my age? If surgery is an option, how do I bring this up with my parents? Also, will having one testicle affect my sperm count or sexual health in the long run? Can I still have a normal sex life with just one?
Yes, surgery (orchiopexy) may still be an option depending on your age and the position of the testicle—consult a urologist for evaluation. It’s best to discuss this openly with your parents as it’s a common condition. Having one healthy testicle is usually enough for normal sperm production and sexual function. Most men with one testicle lead a completely normal sex life and can father children.

I've been having some stomach pain for the past few days, and at first, I thought it was just from heat or something, so I ignored it. But then, I noticed a small red worm in my urine the next morning, which really scared me. This morning, it happened again. I'm super worried now. Could this be dangerous to my health? And I'm really concerned about whether it might affect my fertility. Can you please give me some advice?
