TanıTedavi answer

Short answer: The risk of pregnancy from such contact is generally low, but not entirely zero. If there was no direct ejaculation around the vagina, the likelihood of pregnancy decreases; however, a very low risk is theoretically possible via semen transmitted through contact such as hands or mouth.

What you can do / where to get support:

  • If you are highly concerned, contact a gynecologist, family planning service, or sexual health clinic today or as soon as possible; consulting a pharmacy can also provide information about emergency contraception options, as time may be limited. - A pregnancy test is usually more reliable after a missed period or about two weeks after intercourse; early tests may have limited reliability. - If your menstrual cycle is irregular or your ovulation time is different, the risk of pregnancy may change; discuss this with your gynecologist or family doctor.

Emergency warning signs (seek medical attention immediately): severe abdominal pain, excessive bleeding, fainting, or severe dizziness.
