    The birth of life comes from the meeting and fusion of a sperm and an egg cell. The sperm released by the man will appear hundreds of millions of times. Only the luckiest one or two can get the beginning of life. On the way to meet the egg cell, the male sperm has to go through ninety-nine and eighty-one "dungeons", which is no less difficult than the four teachers and students who took the Western Classics! Therefore, judging from this probability, everyone is indeed the most lucky and unique to be born in this world! So where is male sperm stored?

    The male friend's sperm is produced in the testicles, that is, inside the testicles. The formation and influencing factors of sperm should be understood by male friends, because this is a kind of protection for male sperm. Generally speaking, male sperm is greatly affected by temperature.

    Sperm survival rate time

    Where is male sperm produced?

    Although a normal adult man discharges millions or even more than 200 million sperm once he ejaculates, most of these sperm lose their vitality in the acidic and alkaline environment of the female reproductive system and die.

    Generally speaking, the lifespan of sperm in the vagina does not exceed 8 hours, and only a small part of the sperm escapes and continues to move forward. When the male sperm happily ascends to the uterus, the total number is only 1%-5% of the man's ejaculate. After going through the process, there are only a few male sperm that can finally reach the position of bilateral fallopian tube fertilization. However, as long as male sperm enters both fallopian tubes, it has strong insemination ability. Of course, in the end, only 1-2 sperm are lucky enough to fuse with the egg cell, and the other sperm die one after another within 24-36 hours. Only sperm stored in the crypts of the cervical mucosa can have a service life of 2-6 days. Even so, its insemination ability has been basically lost, because most sperm can only maintain its insemination ability for about 20 hours.
