Patient's question:
How long does it take for sperm to travel to the fallopian tube after intercourse? And how long does it take for the sperm to fuse with an egg after reaching the fallopian tube?Doctor's answer:
If the sperm quality is good, it takes about 2 to 3 hours to reach the fallopian tube. If the sperm quality is very good, it takes about 2 to 3 hours to reach the fallopian tube. The sperm and egg fusing to form a zygote takes approximately ten hours. For the zygote to implant in the uterus, it takes about six to seven days. Tubal disease is a common gynecological condition that is prone to occur. During medication, women need to pay attention to their own care, especially in terms of nursing. It is recommended that patients avoid sexual activity during treatment and pay close attention to cleanliness.
