How long do sperm live if block by a diaphragm?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Several Days: Most sperm live in the body for up to 2-3 days, but reports show they can live as long as 1 week. Spermacides can actually kill sperm, but barriers such as a diaphragm can prevent sperm from getting inside the cervix and uterus.
