    (1) Sexual intercourse: Sexual intercourse can cause the contraction of the vagina and uterus reflexively, accelerate the operation of sperm and reduce survival. (2) Estrogen: Estrogen can enhance the contractile activity of the fallopian tubes. (3) Prostaglandins: There are a variety of prostaglandins in the semen and female reproductive tract, which have a contracting effect on the unpregnant uterus and fallopian tubes. In addition estrogen can strengthen this effect. The sensitivity of the uterus to prostaglandins is higher in the middle of menstruation. (4) Cervical mucus: Cervical mucus serves as a storage area for sperm, can protect sperm from the adverse effects of the vagina, can provide energy for sperm, and may participate in sperm capacitation. (5) Others.
