Patient Question
Hello Doctor,
I've heard that it's possible to get pregnant from precum even without penetration. How likely is it to conceive this way, and what should I know about the risks?
Answered by Dr. Mini Sood
Hello,
Thank you for reaching out to Dr. Galen. Please find the below response to your query.
Yes, it is possible to get pregnant from precum, even without penetration, although the likelihood is lower than with full intercourse. Precum can contain sperm, and if it comes into contact with the vaginal area, there is a small risk of pregnancy. If you're trying to avoid pregnancy, it's important to use effective contraception every time.
Thanks
