Patient's question:
Doctor,I am a virgin. On October 29th of this year, I had sex with my boyfriend. I was quite scared at the time, and he did not penetrate me, nor did my hymen break. However, he ejaculated inside the vaginal opening. My last menstrual period was on October 3rd, and it should have arrived on November 3rd. Previously, my periods were very regular, but so far, it has been a week since it was due, and it has not come yet. Could I be pregnant? I thought it should be my safe period, and I am still a virgin—could that be possible?
Looking forward to your answer.
First follow-up question: Should the pregnancy calculation start from the day of intercourse (October 29th) or from the day of the missed period (i.e., November 3rd)?
Doctor's answer:
The hymen of a woman is generally located at the outer opening of the vagina, about one to two centimeters away. If the hymen is not torn, the penis will not be able to enter the vagina. Even if ejaculation occurs outside the vagina, the possibility of pregnancy is relatively small. If it is not during the woman's ovulation period, the possibility of pregnancy is almost zero. The occurrence of gynecological diseases not only affects a woman's life but can also lead to the development of gynecological diseases. Therefore, it is best to undergo a routine check-up in the gynecology department of a hospital to identify the cause and receive targeted treatment. Additionally, it is important to pay attention to personal hygiene and maintain cleanliness in the perineal area.
