How long can an egg maintain in the body after being released

Patient's question:

No

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, and sperm lose the ability to combine with the egg after 2 to 3 days.
