Abdominal issues?


Hello doctor, at the beginning of February, I had friction with my boyfriend through our underwear.
There was no ejaculation, but it seems there was a small amount of pre-ejaculate fluid.
Is it possible for pre-ejaculate fluid to cause pregnancy through underwear? Since February, I have felt that my lower abdomen has become larger, but I have had my period four times and have tested negative for pregnancy more than five times.
Does this mean I am definitely not pregnant? My abdomen is not hard; it feels soft and shakes when I walk.
Is this what a pregnant belly looks like? Recently, I haven't been on a special diet, and my food intake is about the same as usual, but I have lost about 2 kg.
Additionally, I have been experiencing frequent dull pain in my abdomen and a feeling of bloating, and there is even a slight difference in height on both sides of my abdomen.
Doctor, what could be the reason for this? Could it be pregnancy?

When it comes to pregnancy concerns and abdominal issues, it's essential to understand the various symptoms and their implications. Based on your description, it seems you have several questions regarding the possibility of pregnancy, abdominal changes, and discomfort.

Firstly, regarding your concern about the possibility of becoming pregnant from pre-ejaculatory fluid (pre-cum) through clothing, while it is theoretically possible for sperm to be present in pre-ejaculatory fluid, the likelihood of pregnancy occurring in this manner is extremely low. Sperm needs to be deposited in the vagina to fertilize an egg, and the barrier of clothing significantly reduces this risk. Since you have had your menstrual period four times since the incident and have tested negative for pregnancy multiple times, it is highly unlikely that you are pregnant.

The feeling of your abdomen becoming larger can be attributed to various factors, including bloating, weight fluctuations, or changes in body composition. It is not uncommon for individuals to experience abdominal distension due to dietary changes, stress, or gastrointestinal issues. The fact that your abdomen feels soft and not hard suggests that it is likely not a pregnancy-related change. In pregnancy, the abdomen typically becomes firm as the uterus expands.

You mentioned experiencing abdominal discomfort and a sensation of bloating, which can be caused by several non-pregnancy-related factors. Common causes of abdominal discomfort include gastrointestinal issues such as gas, constipation, or even anxiety, which can lead to muscle tension and discomfort in the abdominal area. If you are experiencing pain that is persistent or worsening, it is advisable to consult a healthcare professional for a thorough evaluation.

The weight loss of approximately 2 kg without any significant dietary changes could also be a sign of an underlying issue that may need to be addressed. Weight fluctuations can occur due to various reasons, including stress, changes in metabolism, or gastrointestinal disturbances. If you are experiencing significant changes in weight or persistent abdominal pain, it is crucial to seek medical advice.

In summary, based on the information provided, it seems unlikely that you are pregnant given the regularity of your menstrual cycles and negative pregnancy tests. The symptoms you are experiencing, such as abdominal bloating and discomfort, are more likely related to non-pregnancy-related factors. However, if these symptoms persist or worsen, it is essential to consult with a healthcare provider to rule out any underlying medical conditions and to receive appropriate care. Regular check-ups and open communication with your healthcare provider can help ensure that any concerns are addressed promptly and effectively.
