Sperm can live for only a few hours inside the vagina, and even less than that outside the human body, exposed to the open air. If the sperm survive to enter the less hostile environment of the female reproductive tract beyond the cervix, they can survive for up to five days.
The systemics that are most commonly used to treat psoriasis in the UK are Methotrexate, Ciclosporin and Acitretin. Click here for more information on Methotrexate, its dosing regime and side effects. Click here for more information on Ciclosporin, its dosing regime and side effects.
In some cases, psoriasis can also cause swelling and pain in the joints and spine, a condition known as psoriatic arthritis. Drugs that are put on the skin or those in pill form can help relieve symptoms of psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis, but they donât work for everyone.
