Question 1

I've got a question about pregnancy risks and I'm a little worried. If I touched sperm, then cleaned my hands by rubbing them together, and later inserted a finger into my girlfriend's vagina, is there any chance she could get pregnant?

Accepted Answer

Even with clean hands, there's still a risk of pregnancy if sperm comes into contact with the vagina, as sperm can survive on skin and surfaces for up to 20-30 minutes; however, the chances of pregnancy from this scenario are relatively low, but not impossible, so it's essential to use proper birth control methods or consult a healthcare professional for guidance.

Question 2

My ultrasound report says the ovarian cyst is measured in mm but I'm not sure how big that is in cm. Can you help me understand the size in centimeters? Also is it possible to treat this without surgery or is surgery the only option?

Accepted Answer

excision of the cyst is advised under laparoscopic methods.

Question 3

I've had to take the morning after pill a few times now because of contraception not working as it should. I'm really worried about whether using this pill multiple times could cause issues with fertility in the future. Could it actually lead to infertility or affect my chances of having kids down the line?
