How Long Can S***m Live in the Va**na?
S***m vs. Va**nal Environment: A Survival Story
The va**na isn't exactly a friendly home for s***m. It's naturally acidic (to combat infection), so most s***m don't survive long here. Actually, they die within a few minutes to a few hours if there is no protection.
But here's the surprise- many s***m avoid this brutal environment and find their way to a relatively safe place: the cervix. And things get interesting at that point.
What Helps S***m Survive Longer?
โข Fertile Cervical Mucus: Shortly before ovulation the body produces thin slippery mucus which serves as s***m transportation permission to get them into position to reach the uterus.
โข Semen Quality: The healthier the s***m, the better the chances of their survival.
โข Timing: S***m cells survive better when a person has s*xual in*******se near the moment of ovulation.
How many days s***m live in female body?
Cervix: The Safe Zone
Once s***ms reach the cervix, things get significantly better. They can last there for as long as 3โ5 days if cervical mucus is friendly. That is why pregnancy remains possible even when s*x occurred days prior to ovulation.
Uterus & Fallopian Tubes: The Longest Survival Time
This is where s***m stand the best chance of getting to an egg. Under perfect circumstances, they can hang out for as long as 5 days waiting for ovulation. Yes, s***m can actually camp out in the fallopian tubes, waiting for their opportunity.
What Kills S***m in the Female Body?
Va**nal Acidity: The First Obstacle
The va**naโs natural acidity wipes out most s***m pretty quickly, especially if cervical mucus isnโt fertile.
The Female Immune System
S***ms are technically 'foreign invaders' in the body. The immune system may attack them, reducing their numbers before they even reach their goal.
Cervical Mucus: A Double-Edged Sword
โข During ovulation:Mucus helps s***m survive and travel.
โข Outside ovulation:It thickens, blocking s***m and preventing their movement.
