Ladies and gentlemen, start your engines — Vasalgel, the non-condom male birth control, will be here in 2017. According to a recent press release from the Parsemus Foundation, the non-profit organization spearheading the research behind Vasalgel, clinical trials with humans are scheduled to start next year, and considering that everything else has run on schedule thus far, you can expect to see Vasalgel on the market by 2017. That, my friends, is something to look forward to.
How does Vasalgel work, exactly? While the drug isn’t exactly as easy as a pill or as superficial as a condom, it is still relatively quick and painless. Vasalgel is actually the name of a ”polymer hydrogel” that is injected into a man’s vas deferens, the vessels responsible for transporting sperm. Once Vasalgel is injected, it forms a “semi-solid plug” that blocks the flow of sperm, which makes it significantly more difficult for pregnancies to occur. The procedure is actually very similar to a no-scalpel vasectomy, but with one very noticeable (and welcome) difference — it is reversible.
If a man later decides that he wants to have children, another injection effectively washes the plug out of the vas deferens, removing the block, and allowing sperm to flow freely once again. Each injection is purported to be essentially pain-free, and patients can expect to be off the table and out of the doctor’s office in 15 minutes flat.
