Hello, Doctor.
I am 123809, who asked a question this morning.
I just checked your reply tonight and realized that I had entered my previous inquiry information, but it was not displayed, so I would like to ask again.
I apologize for the inconvenience.
Please refer to https://adoctor.tw/article/123560.
I would like to understand if this could harm my girlfriend's health, as I am on medication and am concerned about the quality of my semen or the presence of trace amounts of medication entering her body.

1.
If I have unprotected intercourse and she performs oral sex and swallows my semen, could this affect her health? I am very worried about the impact on my girlfriend.

2.
Additionally, I would like to ask if there is a risk of pregnancy if I insert without a condom right after an erection, only thrusting a few times (not exceeding 50 thrusts, just to enjoy the feeling), and then put on a condom until the end.
Is there a chance of pregnancy?

Niming, 20~29 year old female. Ask Date: 2017/05/31

I want to understand if this could harm my girlfriend's body, as I am on medication and I'm worried that my semen might be altered or contain trace amounts of medication that could enter her body.

1.
If I have unprotected intercourse with my girlfriend and she performs oral sex and swallows my semen, will it affect her body? I'm very concerned about her being impacted by me.

Answer: No, it will not affect her body through the semen.
2.
This is an additional question I want to ask: If I enter her without a condom right after an erection and only thrust a few times (not exceeding 50 thrusts, just to enjoy the feeling), and then I put on a condom until the end, is there a risk of pregnancy?
Answer: Yes, even if you only thrust a few times without a condom right after an erection, there is still a risk of pregnancy.

When it comes to concerns about the effects of medications on a partner during intimacy, it's important to understand how medications can potentially affect bodily fluids, including semen, and the implications for sexual health.
1. Impact of Medications on Semen and Partner's Health:
The medications you are taking can indeed have effects on your body, but the likelihood of them causing significant harm to your partner through semen is generally low. Most medications do not significantly alter the composition of semen in a way that would be harmful to a partner. However, certain medications can be excreted in small amounts in semen. For example, some psychiatric medications, antibiotics, and anti-inflammatory drugs can have trace amounts in bodily fluids.
If you are concerned about specific medications, it would be wise to consult with your healthcare provider about their potential effects. They can provide detailed information on whether any of your medications could pose a risk to your partner. In general, the risk of causing harm through sexual activity is minimal, but it is always best to err on the side of caution.

2. Contraceptive Considerations:
Regarding your question about the risk of pregnancy when engaging in sexual activity without a condom initially, it is important to understand that pre-ejaculate fluid (pre-cum) can contain sperm. If you inserted without a condom, even briefly, there is a possibility of sperm being present, which could lead to pregnancy. While the risk may be lower if you did not ejaculate inside, it is not zero.
If you are actively trying to avoid pregnancy, it is crucial to use reliable contraception consistently. Condoms are an effective method of preventing both pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections (STIs). If you have concerns about the effectiveness of your contraceptive methods or want to explore other options, discussing this with a healthcare provider can help you find the best solution for your situation.

3. Communication with Your Partner:
It is also essential to communicate openly with your partner about your concerns regarding medication and sexual health. This can help alleviate anxiety and ensure that both of you are on the same page regarding contraception and any potential health risks.
4. Monitoring for Side Effects:
If you notice any unusual symptoms in your partner after sexual activity, such as discomfort, unusual discharge, or other health issues, it is advisable for her to consult a healthcare provider. This will help rule out any potential issues and provide peace of mind.

In summary, while the medications you are taking may have some presence in your semen, the risk of causing harm to your partner is generally low. However, it is always best to consult with your healthcare provider for personalized advice. Additionally, taking precautions regarding contraception is essential to prevent unintended pregnancies. Open communication with your partner about these concerns is also vital for a healthy sexual relationship.
