Circumcision corrects Phimosis

I am a 26-year-old married woman trying to conceive for the last 6 months. During intercourse, my husband withdraws his penis immediately after ejaculation. I feel semen does not enter me, but he says that it does go inside. How much time does it take for sperm to enter the vagina?

A large portion of the semen will seep out of the vagina when a man withdraws after ejaculation. This is usual. The sperms, which are the most important constituent of the semen, if they are healthy, will swim up the vaginal passage and try to enter the uterus via the cervix. I suggest that you continue to lie on your back for about 20 minutes after your husband ejaculates inside you. This is to help the easy and faster passage for the sperms to travel to the cervix.

I am a 23-year-old male. My problem is that my foreskin does not move backwards. At what age does the foreskin slide fully to allow visibility and access to the glans? Does this happen during the first intercourse?

The foreskin should be in a position to be pulled back from birth. However, it will be ideal to do so after puberty. If this does not happen, a condition known as Phimosis may be present. This condition needs to be corrected through a surgery, which is circumcision. If you have any doubts, you may consult your doctor in person.
