Can someone actually get pregnant if there's no penetration involved but just rubbing a naked penis around the vulva? I've heard that precum could be a factor, so how real is the risk here? I'm kinda worried and curious about how this works.

Yes, it is possible to get pregnant from genital rubbing if precum (pre-ejaculatory fluid) comes into contact with the vaginal area. While the chances are lower compared to direct penetration, sperm in the precum can still lead to pregnancy.

Pregnancy Risk
- Pregnancy requires sperm to reach the vagina and fertilize an egg. Without penetration, this risk is significantly lower.
- Pre-ejaculate Fluid: It can contain sperm, but usually in small amounts. Direct contact with the vulva poses a small risk.
-
Precautionary Measures
- Contraception: Consider using condoms or other birth control methods to minimize risk.
- Consultation: If concerned about pregnancy risk, consult a healthcare provider for personalized advice.
-
Summary
- Rubbing a naked penis around the vulva without penetration carries a low but not zero risk of pregnancy, especially if pre-ejaculate is present.

View allI'm wondering if it's normal to have shortness of breath and chest tightness just before my period. It's something I've noticed happening and it's making me a bit anxious. Is this something I should be concerned about or is it generally harmless? Also, could you suggest which tests or checks I might need to consider?
It's not uncommon for some women to experience shortness of breath or chest tightness before their period due to hormonal changes. However, if these symptoms are severe or persistent, it's important to rule out other conditions. I would recommend starting with a physical exam and possibly tests like an ECG, chest X-ray, or blood work to ensure everything is fine.

I'm 25 weeks pregnant and had a cerclage done at 14 weeks. Right now my cervical length is 30 mm is that normal or should I be worried about it shortening further?
A cervical length of 30 mm at 25 weeks, especially after a cerclage at 14 weeks, is generally considered normal and not a cause for immediate concern. While some shortening of the cervix is expected as pregnancy progresses, a 30 mm length indicates the cervix is still within a safe range. However, it's essential to monitor it closely and discuss any concerns with your doctor
