Birth control for men on its way

We all know that there are a smorgasbord of birth control options for women, but all that could soon change. Recent successful animal trials may bring new methods of birth control for men as early as 2017 helping to redistribute the birth control options. Vasalgel, a non-hormonal option, is anticipated to be among the first FDA-approved male contraceptives – the best thing since the condom. The new contraceptive will be injected directly into the tubes that transport sperm, blocking the release of sperm while allowing other fluid to pass through. A single injection could last for years, however the amount of time will become clear after human clinical trials take place in 2016. A second injection will undo the affects making Vasalgel a long-term option, like vasectomies, but without the invasiveness and with the ability to reverse the effects.
