How long does it take for sperm to swim to the fallopian tube

Some people have misunderstandings about sex. They think that male sperm can only combine with female eggs to form fertilized eggs after entering the female uterus. In fact, male sperm needs to swim to the female fallopian tube. After entering the female fallopian tube, it can combine with the female egg, so that the fertilized egg can implant. So how long does it take for male sperm to swim to the fallopian tube?

In order for the fertilization process to proceed smoothly, several conditions are required: first, the man's sexual function is normal and he can ejaculate normally; second, the man has enough sperm of normal shape; third, the woman can produce normal mature egg cells; fourth, it is best to have sex around the time of the woman's ovulation period to ensure that the sperm and egg meet. As for how long it takes for sperm to reach the fallopian tube, this varies from individual to individual. Generally speaking, it takes 1-1.5 hours for sperm to reach the fallopian tube.

The survival time of sperm in the cervix is: inside the cervix, sperm can be found in the cervical mucus 15 minutes after sexual intercourse; one hour later, sperm enters the internal opening; inside the uterine cavity, sperm is found in the uterine cavity 1 hour after sexual intercourse, 6 hours later, all are active sperm, 5/6 of the sperm are still alive after 12 hours, 1/4 of the sperm are still alive after 36 hours, and no sperm are alive after three days. However, sometimes individual sperm survive for a particularly long time, and as long as ovulation occurs within the sperm survival time, the combination of high-quality sperm and egg can form a gestational sac.

The time it takes for sperm to reach the fallopian tube from the vagina is as fast as a few minutes, but generally takes 1-1.5 hours. These sperm that reach the fallopian tubes lose their ability to conceive after three days. When women are in their childbearing years, their ovaries release a mature egg every month. After the egg is released, it is captured by the fallopian tube umbrella and enters the fallopian tube. Within 24 hours after the egg is released, if it encounters sperm in the fallopian tube, the egg will be surrounded by a group of sperm, of which only one sperm can penetrate into the egg and fertilize it. The egg after fertilization is called a zygote. The fertilized egg develops in the fallopian tube and gradually moves towards the uterine cavity. About 7-8 days after fertilization, it reaches the uterine cavity and implants into the endometrium, where it continuously absorbs nutrients and gradually develops into a mature fetus.
