Can drinking cold water prevent pregnancy? Can drinking hot water prevent pregnancy?

A whole lot of ladies have put their hands into many things and have tried different methods to prevent pregnancy. Yesterday, I received a mail from a lady asking if drinking either cold chilled water or hot water will prevent pregnancy after unprotected sex. It took me several hours to convince her that drinking cold water or hot water after sex cannot prevent pregnancy or flush our sperm from her body….she said her friend have been using this method for years and it has never failed her….I had to tell her that that was not possible , if hee friend having been having unprotected sex in her fertile period (barring the absence of female or male fertility), she would have taken in by now.

Many ladies believe drinking cold or hot water after sex will kill the sperm by either freezing them or burning them out. This is very untrue.Some even cold water can be used to remove unwanted pregnancy. Cold water will fail you when used as contraception. Hot water will fail you when you depend on it for contraception….even when you add salt to the water , it will still fail you.

Other than using cold or hot water to flush out sperm to prevent getting pregnant, there are more effective contraception pills called emergency contraceptive pills…..emergency contraceptive pills like postinor , postpill, plan b etc are very much available in the market.
