Patient's question:
A couple of days ago, I had sexual intercourse with my wife. Since we used the withdrawal method, we wiped the sperm with toilet paper and paper towels. Now we don't want a baby, and I want to know if the sperm can still be active after being wiped with paper.Doctor's answer:
In your case, it will not lead to pregnancy, so you don't need to worry. Without a sexual relationship, there will be no sperm entering the vagina, and therefore it cannot lead to pregnancy. Avoid spicy, irritating, and cold foods, get plenty of rest, and adjust your mood. Don't drink cold water or drinks. After sperm is wiped dry, it usually loses its activity. Under normal circumstances, sperm can only maintain activity for about 24 hours outside the body. Once sperm exceeds this time, it will be completely dead. As long as sperm does not enter a woman's vagina, it can effectively prevent pregnancy.
