A member asked:
If it can take a rather long time for sperm to meet an egg,then is it possible that douching or showering could remove semen,sperm and prevent pregnan
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Definitely not: Showering or douching will not impact your fertility at all. If you do not want to be pregnant use a condom, avoid intercourse or start birth control. Use over the counter Plan B if intercourse was within 72 hours to decrease the risk of unplanned pregnancy.
