How many days can the ovarian follicle survive?

The egg cell is a somatic cell discharged from the female ovary. After fusing with the male sperm, it produces a sperm-egg combination, which grows and develops into a test tube embryo and grows happily in the mother's uterus. The egg cell survival time is also very short. The egg cell survival time is 1-2 days. The time when its fertilization ability is strongest is within 24 hours after ovulation, and the chance of pregnancy is higher when it fuses with male sperm. So, how long can the egg survive after it is released?

How long can the egg survive after it is released?

The egg cell survival time is 1-2 days, and its fertility ability is strongest within 24 hours after ovulation. Male sperm can survive in the female reproductive system for 2-3 days. Therefore, it is easiest to get pregnant if you have sex during ovulation, and the chance of pregnancy decreases as the distance from ovulation increases. The 5 days before ovulation and the 4 days after ovulation, a total of about 10 days, belong to the fertile period, and the rest of the time is the relatively safe menstrual period. Everyone can have sex once a day after ovulation.

In a normal marriage, one egg is matured and released from the left or right ovary every month. After the egg is released, it usually takes 8-10 minutes for the fimbria of the fallopian tubes to absorb it into the lumen of the fallopian tubes and reach the node between the ampulla and the isthmus of the fallopian tubes. The egg then stays here, waiting for the visit of sperm. Generally, fertilization occurs within 12 hours after ovulation, and it takes about 24 hours for all sperm and egg to combine.

Compared with male sperm, the lifespan of egg cells is much shorter, and the survival time of egg cells is 12-24 hours. If the egg cell that enters the fallopian tube meets the sperm within 24 hours, the sperm and egg can combine for fertilization. If the sperm and egg cell lose the opportunity to meet at this stage, the egg cell loses the ability to fertilize and dies. Therefore, pregnancy is only possible if you have sex within 1-2 days before and after ovulation during the middle and late menstrual period.

How to improve egg cell quality

1. Avoid sexual intercourse during menstruation: sexual intercourse during menstruation can reduce the quality of egg cells. Sexual life during menstruation can stimulate the body to produce anti-sperm antibodies, causing pelvic infection, endometriosis, etc., thus affecting the quality of egg cells.

2. Take part in more exercise: It is very important to take part in some exercise appropriately, such as running, gymnastics, swimming, Tai Chi, etc., which can improve the quality of egg cells.

3. Prevent excessive fatigue: adjust your daily life, avoid excessive fatigue, and stay up late as little as possible to avoid affecting the quality of egg cells. Regular work and rest time is beneficial to ovarian maintenance.

4. Regulate emotions: According to scientific research, when work pressure is too great, the body will produce a lot of "anxiety hormone", which will cause endocrine disorders and affect the ovulation function of the uterus and ovaries.

5. Adjust your diet: quit smoking and drinking as much as possible, and avoid overeating and overdrinking. To improve the quality of sperm, you can eat more black beans, soy milk, boiled fish soup and other foods, and eat more fruits and vegetables containing vitamins.

6. Avoid radiation sources: There may be electromagnetic radiation around computers and mobile phones when they are running. Although the intensity of their radiation is very weak, in order to ensure the health of egg cells, it is recommended to avoid using them during work and rest as much as possible.
