How long does male sperm survive?

In daily life, every male will gradually produce sperm after reaching puberty and maturation. One sperm will be discharged from his vas deferens every day. However, not every sperm will survive. Generally speaking, some sperm will die. In the following article, I will introduce to many friends how long male sperm can survive.

After sperm is produced by the testis, it develops and matures in the epididymis and is stored in the epididymis and the proximal segment of the vas deferens. It usually takes 74 days for sperm to be produced in the testis and 16 days for sperm to mature in the epididymis, which takes about 3 months in total. Sperm usually survives in the reproductive tract for 28 days. If it is stored for too long, it will age and lose its vitality. The testicles of men begin to produce sperm at around the age of 14. When they reach sexual maturity at the age of 16 to 17, they will experience spermatogenesis. After the age of 40, the ability to produce sperm gradually weakens.

The chance of pregnancy during ovulation is very high. The ovaries of normal women of childbearing age release a mature egg every month. After the egg is released, it enters the fallopian tube and can generally survive for 1-2 days. The sperm produced by men is continuous. Sperm usually remains active in the female reproductive tract for 2-3 days, and its ability to conceive is between 48 hours.

Suggestion: If a woman has sex within a certain period of time before or after ovulation, she may become pregnant.

Although a normal sexually mature man can release tens of millions or even up to 200 million sperms in one ejaculation, most of these sperms lose their vitality and die in the acidic environment of the female reproductive tract. Generally speaking, the life span of sperm in the vagina does not exceed 8 hours, and only a small number of sperms escape and continue to move forward.

Suggestions: As long as sperm enters the fallopian tube, it has a strong fertilization ability. Of course, only 1-2 sperm are lucky enough to combine with the egg, and the rest of the sperm will die within 24-36 hours. The life span of sperm in the cervical mucosal crypt can reach 2-6 days.

In the above article, we learned about the survival time of male sperm. In fact, it not only depends on the survival rate of male sperm, but also on the probability of women getting pregnant during ovulation. As long as you grasp the time well, you will successfully get pregnant.
