Is the chance of pregnancy high with withdrawal method (pulling out)?

The likelihood of pregnancy from withdrawal (coitus interruptus) is generally low, but pregnancy is still possible. The specific analysis is as follows:

Withdrawal refers to the male partner ejaculating outside the female's vagina, rather than directly into it, during sexual intercourse. In this case, the chance of sperm entering the female reproductive tract is greatly reduced, thereby lowering the possibility of pregnancy. Especially when performed correctly and ensuring that semen does not come into contact with the vaginal opening at all, the probability of pregnancy becomes very low.

However, if sperm have strong penetrating and motility abilities, pregnancy may still occur. During sexual arousal, males secrete fluids such as prostatic fluid, which may enter the vagina before ejaculation and potentially contain active sperm. Therefore, unintended pregnancy can still happen. To prevent unwanted pregnancy, it is recommended to use more effective contraceptive methods, such as condoms, oral contraceptives, or intrauterine devices (IUDs).

If any physical discomfort occurs, it is advisable to seek medical attention promptly and follow healthcare professionals' instructions for appropriate management.
