Dr. Toluwani Binutu, a public health physician, has reassured couples who are trying to conceive that it is normal for semen to leak from the vagina after sex. He explains that this leakage does not indicate any blockage and that a significant amount of semen has already entered the woman's reproductive system. Dr. Binutu emphasizes that couples should not be concerned about the leakage affecting their chances of getting pregnant.
According to an article on the website babymed.com, sperm leakage can actually be beneficial because it indicates an adequate amount of ejaculate. After ejaculation, the sperm quickly separate from the remaining ejaculate and move into the cervix and uterus for fertilization. Only a small percentage of the ejaculate consists of sperm, while the majority is made up of other fluids. Therefore, the leakage of ejaculate is unlikely to hinder pregnancy.
The article further explains that once the ejaculate is inside the vagina, vaginal secretions begin destroying much of the remaining sperm. However, when the sperm move into the cervix and uterus, they are protected from the acidic vaginal secretions. Less than 5-10% of the ejaculate is actually sperm, with over 90% comprising other fluids. Therefore, the leakage of ejaculate from the vagina is highly unlikely to prevent a woman from getting pregnant.
