RE: Vasalgel™ - The next male contraceptive?
These new contraceptives (RISUG and Vasalgel) look promising - at least they would provide better substitute for those contraceptives that mutilate the hormonal balance.
However, some people could have some reservations about injecting chemical substances directly to their vas deferens; due to the fact that there could be a possibility of a long term effect. I want to ask: What side effect (if any) has been anticipated for such kind of contraceptive?
PS: What of the regular spermicidal creams, can't they get the work done?
Nice exposition Suesa
The only side effects they found in the animal models were from post-op complications, the injection itself didn't seem to have any negative side effects. Of course, clinical trials are still required to confirm the same effect in men.
Spermicidal creams do work, planned parenthood claims a 71% effectiveness. That's ... not enough in my opinion ^^
