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're not planning to have a child, it's recommended to take contraceptive measures when having sexual intercourse.
