How long can sperm survive after ejaculation?

0

The survival of spermatozoa, or sperm, depends on the conditions under which they are being held: • Sperm exposed to air, deposited on clothing, bed linens, or toilet seats, for example, dry out very quickly and die, usually within minutes after ejaculation. • A sperm sample collected in a sterile container at body temperature may remain alive for several hours, but the sperms’ fertilizing capability drops dramatically within 60 minutes after ejaculation. • Sperm deposited inside the vagina usually die within 20-30 minutes after ejaculation. • Sperm that move from the vagina into the uterus can survive longer. Studies have shown that conception is possible up to five to six days after intercourse. So it is possible for some sperm to survive that long in the uterus, usually in the cervical mucus or the fallopian tubes. But that is not typical. Most sperm die in the uterus within 24-48 hours after ejaculation, and the more time has passed after ejaculation, the less likely is the fertili

Research has shown that some sperm may survive in the Fallopian tubes up to 7 days, with the average amount of time being 3 to 4 days. The sperm survive much longer once they have traveled through the cervical opening into the woman’s body which is a good reason to try and elevate your bottom in order to encourage the sperm to travel, with the help of gravity, to your cervix more quickly and in greater quantities. Theories also suggest that the contractions associated with orgasms pull sperm from the vagina to the cervix, where it’s in better position to reach the egg. Sperm, in the vagina, can only survive about six hours due to the acidic vaginal secretions. The cervical mucus present when ovulation is near, is more alkaline and more hospitable to sperm. The egg white consistency of the cervical mucus helps the sperm move more easily through the vagina to the cervix, increasing the chance that the sperm will be in the correct location for fertilization to occur. If the woman’s cervic
