How long can sperm survive in women's bodies?
The Time to live of sperm entering the female body is related to the quality of sperm itself, the quality of seminal plasma and the position of female genital canal. Due to the different positions of female reproductive pipelines and microenvironments, the sperm survival rate is affected to some extent, and the sperm Time to live is different. The analysis is as follows:
Vagina: The average Time to live of most sperm in the female vagina is half an hour to two hours, because the female vagina is in an acidic environment, which is not conducive to sperm survival.
2. Cervix: If it is located in the female cervix, the average Time to live is two days.
3. Uterus: The average Time to live of female uterus is one day.
4. Oviduct: The sperm enters the female oviduct, and the average Time to live is two days.
How long does it take for sperm to reach the fallopian tubes?
Sperm usually takes a few minutes or one or two hours to reach the fallopian tubes. If a woman engages in sexual activity within 24 hours after ovulation, sperm and eggs will combine in the fallopian tubes. Every time a man can eject a large number of sperm, but only one sperm successfully enters the egg and becomes a Zygote
In addition, eggs usually survive for about a day, while sperm can usually survive for about one to three days. Therefore, during the ovulation period, rather than on the ovulation day, sperm have reached the fallopian tubes and can survive for a few days, as long as the egg is expelled and may combine with pregnancy
In addition, if the female fallopian tubes are blocked, it is difficult for sperm and eggs to combine, making it difficult for sperm to reach the fallopian tubes, thereby affecting pregnancy. If the fallopian tube is not smooth, some sperm and eggs will not move to the uterine cavity, leading to Ectopic pregnancy.
In short, reaching the fallopian tubes quickly after sexual activity is closely related to a woman's physical condition, such as fallopian tubes, sex hormones, thyroid function, and emotional stress. If there are problems with the above aspects, even if sperm reaches the fallopian tubes, it is difficult to conceive.
