Patient Question

Hello Doctor,

 

Can chlorine effectively eliminate semen inside a womans body, thus reducing the likelihood of pregnancy?

Hello,

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

 

Chlorine is commonly used in swimming pools to kill bacteria and microorganisms. However, it is not a safe or effective method to eliminate or kill sperm inside a woman body. Pregnancy can occur even with a small amount of semen, and it is not recommended to rely on chlorine or any chemicals as effective contraception. Hope this answers your query.

 

Thanks
