Is Pregnancy Possible Through Pre-ejaculatory Fluid?

Posted on Mon, 13 Apr 2015

Question: I have vericocele in my left testicle for about a year and a half now. What are the chances that someone could be pregnant from my pre cum alone? I did not ejaculate and I wore a condom.

Brief Answer:
Semen analysis required

Detailed Answer:
Hi

Varicocele does not always mean reduced sperm count. Semen analysis is required to comment about sperm count.

Pregnancy chances with precum are negligible. I don't think you should worry about pregnancy.

Let me know if you need any more clarifications.

Not necesary

All types of varicoceles need not reduce sperm count.

Sperm count is affected only by severe varicocele on both sides.
