Where does sperm go after hysterectomy?

Following hysterectomy, the remaining areas of your reproductive tract are separated from your abdominal cavity. Because of this, sperm has nowhere to go. It's eventually expelled from your body along with your normal vaginal secretions.

What's the safe window for having unprotected sex to avoid pregnancy? Is there a way I can have sex without a condom and my wife wont get pregnant?

The concept of a "safe period" refers to the time in a woman's menstrual cycle when she is least likely to conceive. However, it is important to note that this method is not highly reliable, as ovulation can vary. For more effective pregnancy prevention, it's advisable to use contraception, such as condoms or other birth control methods, to reduce the risk of pregnancy.

I have fibroids one outside the uterine wall and three inside the uterus but outside the cavity. Two are quite large, so my doctor suggested laparoscopy surgery. Can you explain how this procedure works? Is it similar to a C-section where the uterus is stitched, and could it affect my fertility in the future?
