Patient's question:
Recently, my wife and I have been trying to conceive, and she has been calculating her ovulation period and testing for a strong positive. To get pregnant as soon as possible and increase the chances of conception, I want to know how long normal sperm can survive inside a woman's body and how long they remain fertile. This will help me determine the best time to have intercourse.What kind of help do I need: How long does sperm survive?
Doctor's answer:
Analysis of the condition: Hello, the length of sperm survival depends on the composition of cervical mucus and fallopian tube fluid, and these factors vary with each menstrual cycle. It is possible that during certain periods, cervical mucus may actually block the entry of sperm. Additionally, since the vagina is an acidic environment, most sperm that fail to enter the cervix can only survive for 2 to 6 hours. Therefore, the duration of sperm survival in a woman's body varies greatly, ranging from 2 hours to 8 days, entirely depending on the physiological condition of the woman at the time of ejaculation. The fertilization capacity of the egg released by the ovary remains approximately 12 to 24 hours. You should have intercourse during ovulation to increase the chances of conception. If any abnormal conditions are detected, timely treatment should be administered.
