Generally speaking, the life span of sperm in the vagina is no more than 8 hours, but only a small number of sperm escape and continue to move forward. When sperm happily ascend to the uterus, the total number is only 1%-5% of the ejaculated sperm. After the passage, only a few sperm can finally reach the fertilization site of the fallopian tubes. However, as long as sperm enters the fallopian tubes, they have a strong fertilization ability. Of course, only 1-2 sperm are lucky enough to fuse with the egg cells in the end, and the rest of the sperm die one after another within 24-36 hours.
