Patient's question:
Medical Description: Why does semen flow out after ejaculation?Doctor's answer:
Ejaculate leakage from the vagina after intercourse is a common phenomenon. In fact, although each ejaculation releases about 2-5 milliliters of semen containing billions of sperm, only a very small number of sperm can eventually reach the cervix, uterine cavity, and fallopian tubes to await fertilization. Generally, only 15-50 sperm make it, with the maximum not exceeding 200. Among these, only the fastest and highest-quality sperm is selected by the egg and combines with it to form a zygote, completing the great task of life continuation. The rest of the sperm are rejected and are expelled from the body 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 two hours afterward to ensure the semen covers the cervix and reduces leakage.
