Is there a possibility of pregnancy from genital rubbing?

Question:
Hello doctor,
My boyfriend and I have never had sexual intercourse, and I am still a virgin. We have rubbed our genital areas, but my boyfriend did not ejaculate on my vulva. Doctor, I would like to ask: Is there a possibility of pregnancy from genital rubbing? Thank you, doctor.

Hello,

Regarding the question "Is there a possibility of pregnancy from genital rubbing?", I would like to provide the following explanation:

Pregnancy occurs when a male ejaculates into a woman's vagina, with sperm entering the fallopian tube and surviving up to a maximum of 7 days in a suitable environment, waiting for an egg to be released from the ovary.

If sperm and egg meet in the fallopian tube, they form a zygote, which will swim to the uterus to implant. At this point, fertilization has been successful.

In reality, if you only rub your genital organs while still wearing clothes or rub through underwear, pregnancy is unlikely if the male's semen only sticks to the outside of the woman's underwear. However, in cases where ejaculation has occurred and the woman's underwear is thin or made of lace-like fabric, sperm could potentially enter the vagina, reach the uterus and fallopian tubes, and cause pregnancy if the woman is in her ovulation period.

Therefore, to determine if you are pregnant, you should visit a doctor for diagnostic tests.

If you have further questions about the possibility of pregnancy from genital rubbing, you can visit a hospital in the Vinmec Healthcare System for additional consultation and advice. Thank you for your trust in asking this question. We wish you good health.

Respectfully!
