Patient Question

Hello Doctor,

 

Is it safe to rub the penis against the vagina with or without a condom? Is there a chance of pregnancy if there is no penetration?

 

Answered by Dr. Mini Sood

Hello,

Thank you for reaching out to Dr. Galen. Please find the below response to your query.

 

Yes, it is possible for pregnancy to occur even without penetration if there is genital contact. Pre-ejaculate fluid, which may be released before ejaculation, can contain sperm and potentially lead to pregnancy if it comes into contact with the vaginal area. Using a condom is an effective way to reduce the risk of pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections. It's important to remember that any form of unprotected genital contact carries some risk. If you have concerns about contraception or pregnancy, I recommend discussing options with your healthcare provider.

 

Thanks
