Couples who desire to have a child are sometimes bordered when they notice sperm leakage.
Some worry that the semen which they expect should go into the woman and stay there flows out.
It is sad to see the sperm seep out of the vagina.
Unfortunately, not so many of them are able to discuss this sperm leakage issue with their doctor.
We were not brought up to see such discussions as relevant. Also, such discussions even make some persons feel they are ungodly.
Why Does Sperm Leakage Happen?
To help ease people’s concern about this issue, we asked a family physician what the issues are and whether people should have concerns.
Dr. Ademola Orolu is the Medical Director at Nathaniel Health Consulting and he explained the implications.
Categorically, he said it could be of concern but for other reasons. These reasons he highlighted in an earlier article.

In 2016, an Abuja-based Gynaecologist, Dr Adaora Ukoh, emphasised that sperm leakage after intercourse could delay conception in women (1).
However, she says sperm leakage is normal and especially when there is enough sperm in the semen.
In line with Dr Orolu’s explanations, she says; though most of the sperm leaks out, there could still be millions of sperm swimming around that can fertilise eggs in some women.
According to her, the condition of the woman’s uterus also plays a role in ensuring that conception happens.
Things That Could Cause Sperm Leakage
If you are fond of using oil for vagina lubricate during intercourse, please stop.
Here is why you should.
Dr. Ukoh, says oil-based lubricants could increases the chances of sperm leakage after intercourse. This could also lead to delayed conception.
Also, hotness of the uterus; abortion; fibroid and gravity are other factors in the list of causative factors of sperm leakage.
These also impairs fertility.
About the uterus, she said: “if the potential of hydrogen (PH) level of the uterus is too acidic, the sperm will not be able to stay alive.
“The uterus must not be too acidic, neither should its alkalinity be too much. Its balance must be maintained for sperm to stay alive.
“Besides, cleaning the vaginal canal of artificial lubricants is one of the key ways to reduce sperm leakage”.
What To Do To Stop Sperm Leakage
If you desire to reduce the amount of sperm leakage you notice after sexual intercourse here are few things you could do.
They are recommendations that have helped some women conceive.
Alternative Natural Lubricant
The first is to replace your lubricants.
Use more natural lubricants.
One of the very natural lubricants that we know and recommend for our fertility clients is Goron Tula.
Indeed, this is the best lubricant that you can ever get. It is natural and works all the time; other things being equal.
Not only does Goron Tula boost libido for males and females, it is also great for fertility.
Goron tula is able to cleans your system from inside. This makes it boost the mucus in the vagina.
You may have heard people talk about the fruit being able to make the vagina wet. That is its lubrication function there.
Chew just one or two of this fruit 3 to 4 hours before sexual intercourse and you will be ready (wet) and clean during intercourse.
Also, this leaves the vagina wall wet enough to allow the sperm travel.
Improve Semen Quality
One of the basic reasons a man’s sperm could fail to fertilise an egg is its motility.
If the sperm is weak and not able to swim to the egg before it dies, then, there is need to boost sperm quality.
First, go for profiling of semen and be sure there is no issue.

Improve Your Intercourse Position And Timing
When a man ejaculates, there is a level of force that the semen should come with. That force aids the movement of sperm to ensure it gets to the egg before it is dies.
But for some men, this force is lacking.
When it does happen, the force may be low and that will mean a longer time for the sperm to get to the egg.
At this point, the motility of the sperm becomes very crucial.
However, adopting some good positions could help the man shoot better.
The missionary with a pillow below the woman’s waist could improve penetration and help ensure that the man gets a better shot.
Also, intercourse from he rare is another good position that ensures proper penetration.
Most importantly, however, is the fact that the ovulation time must be properly timed to increase the chances of conception.
We often recommend that couples should explore the man’s morning wood within the ovulation window.
The fact that a man’s sexual organ is often erect in the early hours of the morning means a lot.
The creator must have made it so because that is the time that the egg drops.
If sexual intercourse happens at that time, chances of conception increase.
That said, you do not have to worry so much about sperm leakage if you have carried out necessary tests and are sure you have no issues with your fertility.
