Could precum lead to pregnancy?

This Premium Q&A, reviewed and published, features a real conversation between an iCliniq user and a physician.

Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

Can I get pregnant through precum? I did not have penetrative sex, but I was on top of my boyfriend, and his underwear was slightly wet, but his penis did not directly come in contact with my vagina as he was wearing his underwear. Should I be worried? I am around my ovulation period.

Thanks.

Answered by Dr. J. N. Naidu

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I understand your concern.

Penetrative sex is not necessary to become pregnant. Entry of semen or precum into the vagina can cause pregnancy.

I hope this information will help you.

Thanks.

Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

Thank you for the reply.

Is it possible even through one layer of clothing present? In this case, what should be done?

Thanks.

Answered by Dr. J. N. Naidu

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

I understand your concern.

Yes, semen can pass through one layer of clothing. Take a contraceptive pill immediately within 24 hours.

I hope this information will help you.

Thanks.

Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

Thanks for the reply.

I just wanted to confirm that he did not ejaculate. Should I still take contraceptive pills? Do I need a prescription for it? What side effects should I expect?

Thank you.

Answered by Dr. J. N. Naidu

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

I understand your concern.

Ejaculation is not necessary for becoming pregnant. Only one active sperm is sufficient to fertilize the egg and cause pregnancy. Contraceptive pills may cause menstrual irregularities for some time. One tablet is enough. It is available even without a prescription.

I hope this information will help you.

Thanks.
