Male Birth Control Pills? Contraceptive Gel Injection Might Be Effective After Successful Trials, Research Shows
Researchers from the Parsemus Foundation said that a new male contraceptive gel injection to completely prevent pregnancy has been found to work reliably in a trial performed on rabbits and monkeys, thus increasing the possibility of male birth control in humans.
In a report, published Monday in the journal, Basic and Clinical Andrology, researchers said they had tested a new contraceptive gel called Vasalgel in male monkeys, and found that it was effective at preventing pregnancy during the monkeys' mating seasons. Vasalgel consists of a polymer gel injected into the vas deferens, which is the tube through which the sperm flows. The gel blocks the passage of sperm from the testicles into the penis thus barring them from escaping. It's effects have been long lasting and reversible.
