Patient's question:
I am in my second year of junior high this year. A few days ago during the holiday, my classmates went out together. At night, I slept with a male classmate whom I get along well with. In the morning, I heard some female classmates say that men and women sleeping together can lead to pregnancy, and I became very worried. I still need to go to school and don't want to get pregnant and have a child so early.What kind of help do I need: Does a man and a woman sleeping together cause pregnancy?
Doctor's answer:
Usually, pregnancy is only possible if intercourse occurs during the ovulation period. The timing of fertilization between sperm and egg is the primary factor for successful pregnancy. In normal individuals, after ejaculation, sperm can survive in the uterine cavity for about 2 to 3 days, but their fertility can only be maintained for 1 to 2 days. Sperm that remain in the vagina and do not enter the uterine cavity will not survive for more than 1 day.
