The sperm we refer to mainly exists in a liquid discharged during male ejaculation, which is called semen. One of its main components is sperm. Many women are not very familiar with this knowledge and are curious about the duration of sperm retention in the body. So, how long do sperm stay in the body?
The duration for sperm to stay in the body varies, ranging from a minimum of about two hours to a maximum of up to ten days. The duration during which sperm stay in the body is influenced by their position. Simply put, the specific location of sperm in the female body varies, and the duration of sperm stay in the body also varies.
From a specific location perspective, if sperm stays in a woman's vagina, the time it can stay is very short, specifically about two hours, which means it disappears after this time. If the sperm stays in the female fallopian tube, it can survive for a long time, that is to say, it can stay for ten days or even more.
From the perspective of conception, the time when sperm have a strong ability to conceive in a woman's body is only about one or two days, so for women who want to conceive. One to two days before ovulation is an excellent time for conception, as the chances of conception are high. Women who are planning to conceive can seize this opportunity.
