A member asked:

Hi dictor, is a pregnancy possible without penetrative sexual intercourse?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes though unlikely: If a man ejaculates next to the opening of the woman's vagina or just inside the outer lips of the vagina there is a small chance the sperm could swim up the vagina, into the uterus and go on to fertilize an egg.

Dr Rehman agreed
