Question 1

does alcohol kill sperm? what if i had some sperm on my vagina opening and i wipe it with a wipe thar contains alcohol?

Accepted Answer

Probably: The alcohol probably kills the sperm that it comes in contact with. The problem is that there are millions of sperms in ejaculate and sperm are good swimmers. If there is semen at the vaginal opening, those sperm can still swim to the cervix (and farther). You are still at risk for pregnancy. Wiping with alcohol wipes will not really help.

Question 2

can metronidazole vaginal gel kill sperm inside a woman?

Accepted Answer

: Metronidazole is not an effective contraceptive. It can, however, impede the progress(motility) of sperm through the vagina when it is present, but "escapees" can still fertilize the ovum.

Question 3

sperm lives in vagina 3 to 5 days. does masturbating 2days after sex kill sperm or hurt chances of getting pregnant ?

Accepted Answer

No: If anything, masturbating will increase your chances of pregnancy because it causes uterine contractions and increases the ability for sperm to travel.

Question 4

can regular tap water kill sperm on hands without soap? will it still cause pregnancy if touched the vagina after washing and hands still wet?

Accepted Answer

Unprotected exposure: While unlikely, this could certainly result in pregnancy.  Presumably you understand that the possibility of introducing sperm to the vagina introduces the possibility of pregnancy.

Question 5

can washing hands with soap and water kill sperm instantly? will it still cause pregnancy if touch the vagina right after washing(hands still wet)?

Accepted Answer

Soap: Soap and water should wash sperm from skin. Thus if hands were washed and well rinsed - this should not lead to pregnancy.

Question 6

Question 7

what do you recommend if i am feeling guilty after masturbating because i am killing my potential children by losing sperm out of a vagina.?

Accepted Answer

Males have an endless supply of sperm that are generated from the testis and replenished continuously for more than 6 decades.Females have a set number of eggs for their lifetime, but this is not changed by any masturbatory activity.

Question 8

Question 9

my wife be having orgasms every time we have sex, squirt fluids comes out and some of it enters her vagina, i ejaculate minutes after and both of our fluids gets mixed together inside her, dose that urine/squirt fluid kill my sperm or affect them?

Accepted Answer

: Female "ejaculation" is urine. It is not likely to be toxic to semen or otherwise have any effect on ease of conception.

Question 10

it's it a known fact that acetic acid vaginal jelly helps restore good bacteria in the vagina i really need help i'm tired of bv 7 years of it?

Accepted Answer

That can help: And u need to be on acidolphilus pills and probiotics to help prevent BV and u need a comprehensive culture at a lab like mdl that specializes in vaginal cultures and u need a pelvic ultrasound  and u may need an in office hysteroscopy and endometrial biopsy to make sure the discharge is not coming form the endometrium, if your gyn can do all of this then see someone else.
