Hello Doctor,
Is it really necessary to wash my hands after touching dried sperm? I touched it directly with my hands and then moved around without washing. Should I be concerned about any health risks or infections from not washing my hands afterward?
Hello,
Thank you for reaching out to Dr. Galen. Please find the below response to your query.
Yes, it’s generally a good practice to wash your hands after touching any bodily fluids, including dried sperm. Although dried sperm may not carry the same risks as fresh sperm, there is still a possibility of transferring bacteria or pathogens to your hands or other surfaces.
Washing your hands helps maintain good hygiene and reduces the risk of any potential infections. It’s a simple yet effective precaution to keep you healthy. If you have any specific concerns or experience any unusual symptoms, don’t hesitate to reach out for further guidance.
Thanks
