What happens to sperm that dies outside the uterus? Okay, the sperm cells die, but are all those dead sperm cells still microscopically visible? (After drying out)

Naomie, during pregnancy, sperm doesn't enter your uterus because it's sealed off due to the presence of your baby. The sperm stays in the vagina and doesn't get past the cervix.

Maggie, sperm that remains outside the uterus dies. How quickly depends on where it is. In the vagina or other cavities, it takes a while and is either broken down by the body where it is or pushed out. Outside the body, it dies faster, and depending on whether and how the surface where it is located is cleaned, you may or may not see it. With black light, for example, they can find remnants of sperm and other bodily fluids. See CSI or the program "Red My Holiday" where hotels are sometimes inspected
If you wait long enough, there will always be a microorganism that eventually cleans up the remnants.

And if it's collected in a jar and submitted way too late?
Are the dead sperm cells still visible then?
It's a tricky question.

Yes, they’re still visible. They just don’t move anymore. It’s not like they disappear on their own that quickly. You’re probably seeing dried-up, shriveled cells.

Sperm stays in your body for another half year before it completely disappears. In fact, you will carry their DNA forever.

They're proteins, so I always thought they either get dissolved in your body or disappear with your period.
