A member asked:
If sperm only live for 5 days and they dont impregnate the female within that 5 day period(7days before ovulation,only live 5 days).what happens to the sperm that are dead in the female body?

They are moved out of the urterus by the flow of secretions or menses. If in anus they are pooped out. If in stomach they are digested by GI tract.

The dead sperm in the genital tract of the female will get expelled with the menstrual flow. Sperm can reach the peritoneal cavity and dead sperm there will be removed by macrophages, just like all other cells in the body that die in the normal process of turn-over of cells in various organs.
