How long does sperm live in the anus?

2 Answers

Answered on 18th Dec '24

Sperm does not generally live long in the anus. The environment of the rectum is unfavorable because sperm cannot survive under these conditions due to inappropriate pH, temperature and cervical mucus. Sperm viability is short lived other than the perfect conditions of woman’s reproductive system. After ejaculation, the sperm in the rectum faces various factors that cause it to degenerate rather quickly. Pregnancy is not a risk of engaging in unprotected anal intercourse as the sperm would have no chance to survive in rectal environment. When there is a concern of contraception or fertility in discussions, one must use the appropriate methods and seek health care professionals for specialized advice based on individual conditions.

Sperm require specific conditions to survive and move effectively. In the anus, which is part of the digestive system, the environment is not suitable for sperm survival.

Can I get pregnant after my periods of good 7 days

Female | 24

Yes, you can still get pregnant after your period, even if it's been a week. While the chances are low.. right after your period, it's still possible because the body can release an egg at different times. Take a home pregnancy test to confirm.

Female | 63

Diabetes patients have a slim chance over time to witness such a development. Ovarian cancer has various signs including symptoms like bloating, frequent urination, and abdominal pain. It usually happens due to alterations in the cells of the ovaries, but the precise reason is often unknown. Treatment may be either surgery, chemotherapy, or a combination of both. Your mother's treatment team will determine the best approach for her particular case.

I'm 19 I have problems lately I'm missing my period for two weeks already and also have to go to toilet for pee every 10 minutes and also eating a lot more then usual when I took pregnancy test results show negative

Female | 19

Not having your period, frequent urination, and increased appetite are potential signs of a problem. It could be the result of having the wrong periods, anxiety, or even some physical problem. Be aware that consuming nutritious food and managing stress can be beneficial. Follow the doctor's advice and start with a thorough check-up to get in touch with your body better.
