A member asked:
Hello sir please reply what happens to the sperm when they don't fertilize egg in the female body will they remain active for a couple of months in the female body or after a few days menstruation blood removes them?

Sperm are fragile. They are formed with only enough energy stores to last up to 4-5 days if they are in the favorable environment of the female vaginal mucus. After that point they disintegrate and are shed or recycled by the body.
