But it s not true, says Mignott. If the penis touches a woman s vagina and sperm are there, there is always a chance they can move upward and that a woman can get pregnant. Many couples also incorrectly think a woman cannot become pregnant if a man withdraws right before ejaculation. Sperm can pass out of the penis during arousal, too, Mignott explains. And those sperm can be just as healthy and aggressive in reaching the woman s fallopian tubes, where fertilization takes place, as sperm released during ejaculation.
Men don t get breast cancer.
About 1,400 men are diagnosed with breast cancer each year. About 260 will die from it. A cancerous lump feels like a firm, painless mass and is often under the nipple. Bleeding and discharge are uncommon, but the nipple may become ulcerated. Breast cancer typically affects men between 60 and 70 years old.
