Can you get an embolism from oral sex?
3 doctors weighed in across 4 answers
What is embolism?: Embolism refers to a vessel being clogged up. Embolos = stopper/plug (greek) and so embolism means a vessel is clogged up by a clot or even by an air bubble. So, I am not what you mean by this in relation to oral sex, but you don't get embolism from oral sex. If you mean to ask something else, please repost. I am sure it will be answered accordingly. Good luck.

Possible: With a type of oral sex involving blowing up the vagina like a balloon. Supposedly there was a case of this during a pregnancy but maybe it was an urban legend. More common oral sex is not a problem.
