Doctor's answer:
Hello, based on what you mentioned. Sperm can survive in a woman's body for more than 48 hours, and eggs can survive in a woman's body for 12 to 24 hours after being released. In a 37℃ environment, active sperm survival time: 4 to 8 hours or more; in the vagina, active sperm survival time: 0.5 days; in the cervix, active sperm survival time: 2 to 8 days; in the uterus and fallopian tubes, active sperm survival time: 2 to 2.5 days. Generally, sperm in semen can live for 24 to 72 hours after ejaculation. If it's dry, it can survive for about 15 to 30 minutes. If you are not planning to have a child, it is recommended to take contraceptive measures when having sexual intercourse.
