Patient's question:
Hello, why is it that after we rest intermittently for half an hour after ejaculation, when we stand up, the semen still flows out completely from the body? I feel that the amount flowing out is basically the same as the amount that was inserted. Is this normal?First follow-up question: Dr. Yijianpiao, so does this mean it's a problem with our technique? If it's not about technique, then what could be the reason?
Doctor's answer:
Ejaculate flowing out of the vagina is a common phenomenon. Although each ejaculation releases about 2-6 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 and await fertilization. A high-quality sperm is selected by the egg for fertilization, while the majority of the remaining sperm are expelled from the vagina along with the semen.To prevent semen leakage and increase the chances of conception, the woman's hips can be elevated during intercourse, and she should lie on her back for about half an hour afterward to ensure the semen covers the cervix and reduces leakage. It is a natural phenomenon for excess semen to be expelled from the vagina after intercourse.
