Will non-penetrative sex after hand sanitizing cause pregnancy, if so, how to prevent it?

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

Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

I guess there's a slight chance that my girlfriend is pregnant. We both are 18. So we got together last night. Her period was over the day before yesterday. We masturbated, and after 5 to10 minutes, I put the same finger inside her vagina. But before putting it in, I had used a hand sanitizer to sanitize my hand. But I guess some sperms were still on my finger. So is there a chance that she will get pregnant? What is the best solution to stop it from happening? She also has an irregular menstrual cycle.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I have read your concern in detail and will surely help you out.

Do not worry; her chances of being pregnant are almost nil as she had her periods the day before, so there will not be any ovulation at this time. Also, you have not ejaculated inside her, only by putting a finger inside that too was sanitized before, the chances of pregnancy are nil. So need not worry; she will not get pregnant by this. Even then, if you want to take some medicine, you can give her an i-pill (contraceptive pills) as soon as possible. After this, even the slight chances of pregnancy will be gone.

I hope this helps. Kindly revert in case of further queries.

Thank you.
