I always wondered about this:
So, sometimes it’s reading between the lines that teaches you the most: If you have a vasectomy, your body will produce goddamn sperm-antibodies, Jesus, cue the discordant string bit and tilt the camera, what the hell are sperm-antibodies and is there a cure?
Surely there’s a page around there about where the eggs go after a tubal sterilization. Which, apparently, after much googling I’ve determine has, in fact, almost nothing to do with tubas. Directly.
After vasectomy where do the sperm go?
They dissolve and are absorbed into the body. Dead and unused cells are absorbed by the body throughout life. Antibodies to sperm develop in 50 percent of men who have vasectomies. Normally, antibodies protect the body against viruses and bacteria. Sperm antibodies will not affect your general health. But they may lessen the chance of restoring fertility if vasectomy is reversed.
