How long can an egg survive after it is released?

Patient's question:

I have an itchy lower body, and my underwear is always yellow. What's going on? How long can an egg survive after it's released?

Doctor's answer:

After the egg is released, it can survive for 1 to 2 days. Sperm can survive in the female reproductive tract for 2 to 3 days. The fertilization ability is usually within 24 hours after ovulation. Sperm loses the ability to combine with the egg after 2 to 3 days.
Non-menstrual vaginal bleeding can be either physiological or pathological: Generally, some women may experience ovulatory bleeding during the ovulation period, which is also known as mid-cycle bleeding. It refers to a small amount of bleeding between two normal menstrual periods and may be accompanied by varying degrees of mild abdominal pain. If the symptoms are mild, no treatment is needed. However, if the bleeding is heavy or affects fertility, medication can be used.
