Patient's question:
I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried it might affect fertility, and I also feel extremely cold and afraid of the cold. Is it possible to induce labor with pitocin?Doctor's answer:
Hello, according to your inquiry, if the cervix is open well and sufficiently large, oxytocin can be used to assist with delivery, and it will not have an adverse effect on the baby. Do not worry. After sexual intercourse, semen flowing out of the vagina is a common phenomenon and does not affect fertility. In fact, although each ejaculation can release about 2-5 milliliters of semen containing billions of sperm, only a very small number of sperm can eventually pass through the cervix, the uterine cavity, and reach the fallopian tubes to await fertilization. Among them, only the fastest and of high quality sperm is selected by the egg and combines with it. The majority of the remaining sperm are rejected and are expelled from the body along with the semen.
