ELI5: If the organs still work after a vasectomy, where does the sperm go if it cant leave the body? Ive heard the body reabsorbs it. Is this true/ how does this work?

The male body makes a lot of sperm cells every day.  Most of them doesn't get a chance to leave the body.  Since there is no bloodflow to the sperm cells, once they use up the energy inside them when they are manufactured, they die.  The body absorbs dead cells all the time, and breaks them down.  Some of the molecules are reusable, and others are not.  The non-reusable ones are filtered out by the kidneys and flushed from the body.  All a vasectomy does is change from 99% never get out to 100% never get out.  It's hardly a significant change.
