Patient's question:
Hello, I have multiple sexual encounters with my girlfriend, and after ejaculation, there is discharge from her vagina. What could be the reason? Is it my problem or hers? You said it's a normal phenomenon, but when we had our first sexual encounter, she didn't bleed. Then, every time after ejaculation, it flows out, and we haven't gotten pregnant.Doctor's answer:
After coitus, semen flowing out of the vagina is a common phenomenon. In fact, although each ejaculation can discharge about 2-5 milliliters of semen containing billions of sperm, only a very small number of sperm can pass through the cervix and uterine cavity to reach the fallopian tubes to await fertilization. Generally, there are only 15-50 sperm, and rarely more than 200. Among them, only one high-quality sperm combines with the egg. The rest of the sperm are expelled from the vagina along with the semen.To prevent semen leakage and increase the chance of conception, it is recommended to lie flat for two hours after intercourse to ensure that the semen covers the cervix and reduces leakage. As for the natural expulsion of excess semen from the vagina after intercourse, it generally has no impact on fertility.
