Where does the sperm go when you have a vasectomy?

By Andrea Rodrigo B.Sc., M.Sc. (embryologist).
Last Update: 02/23/2018

Although the testes continue to produce sperm, they cannot pass through the vasa deferentia because they have been cut and tied with the vasectomy. So, they are not expelled with ejaculation, but reabsorbed by the body instead.
