But recently, researchers from the University of California presented contraception. A special gel is injected into the male penis and blocks sperm flow for several years without causing side effects, which could be a revolution in protection. The editorial staff will tell you more. "Site".





Unlike female contraceptives, new male remedies, which should appear in pharmacies in a couple of years, will not contain hormones. Agree, their presence in contraceptive pills and patches scared off many women. According to developers from the University of California, an innovative drug called "Vasalgel" It is designed for reversible controlled sperm retention.





This gel has no side effects and is completely safe, at least for primates. It is worth noting that so far the drug has been tested only on monkeys. Now the experts are faced with the task of proving the safety of the drug for humans and obtaining a license for its mass production, which is planned to begin in 2020.

The only question we're confused about is, where do we find a guy willing to give an injection directly into the most delicate organ?





"Vasalgel" is a polymer that is injected under local anesthesia into the sperm ducts through the scrotum. The principle of its operation is very simple - the gel prevents the movement of sperm. In doing so, it is reversible. Repeated injection dissolves the polymer and clears the way for sperm. That is, if a man wants to have children, he will get this opportunity at any time.

This tool was presented by Indian scientists, but it, unlike the American, spoils the quality of sperm.





The first tests were conducted on rabbits for 12 months last year and were successful. Experiments with primates also ended quite successfully, except for one case: the male was unsuccessfully injected with a gel and damaged the vas deferens duct, so he had to perform an operation.

But experts pay attention to the very high effectiveness of the drug as a contraceptive. So before producing the drug, it would not hurt to train doctors to administer it.





However, urologists have already begun to criticize the drug. According to them, problems with the prostate can occur, so the complete safety of drugs such as Vasalgel is a bold statement. Each organism is different, and it is impossible to predict its reaction to an artificial polymer. The body may reject it, and the genitals will become inflamed, or there will be an allergic reaction.

But these are only assumptions, because before any operation or administration of drugs, a tolerability test is done.




Here is just do not immediately rejoice and throw away condoms. They're the only ones. protect against sexually transmitted diseases and infections. If Vasalgel passes all the tests and checks, obtaining the necessary license, it is better to use it for men who are married or live with one sexual partner.



It is very interesting to hear the opinion of men on this issue. Don’t forget to share the discovery of researchers in the field of contraception with your friends on social networks!
