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 really worried about my girlfriend. On Monday, I fingered her and since then she had continuous pain which lasted until Friday. Now, it seems to have lessened to just once a day. When I was fingering her, it felt like I was hitting something. Can you help diagnose what's going on and suggest any treatment options? Also, if there's a way to contact you, can you let me know?

I had sex with my girlfriend today, January 11, and the condom broke. She took Unwanted 72 before, like three days ago on January 7, after we had unprotected sex. Can she take the pill again or is that too much for one week? Really concerned about what we should do.
Using **Unwanted 72** twice in a week is not recommended, as it contains a high dose of hormones, which can disrupt your girlfriend's menstrual cycle and cause side effects like nausea, irregular bleeding, or fatigue. It's best to consult a healthcare provider for guidance on emergency contraception and explore long-term contraceptive options for better safety and effectiveness.

How does laparoscopic gallbladder surgery affect pregnancy and how long should I wait before trying to conceive I had my gallbladder removed laparoscopically a few months ago and now we're thinking about starting a family should I be worried about any risks to pregnancy after this surgery Is it safe to get pregnant soon after laparoscopic gallbladder surgery or do I need to wait a certain amount of time for my body to recover properly What are the potential risks of pregnancy after gallbladder removal surgery and when would be the best time to try conceiving
Laparoscopic gallbladder surgery, or cholecystectomy, does not pose a significant risk to future pregnancies. It's generally safe to conceive shortly after the surgery once you've recovered, with many couples able to try within a month. However, it's essential to discuss your individual recovery and any concerns with your doctor before trying to conceive
