Future alternatives to vasectomies
Jump to Comments
This article caught my eye the other day:
According to a Sydney scientist a hormone-based contraceptive for men has the ability to reverse its effect just four months after stopping its use. Dr. Peter Liu of the Los Angeles Biomedical Research Institute at Harbor-UCLA Medical Center, led the research team, and says the hormonal male contraceptive methods could be on the market in five to 10 years. Dr. Liu found evidence in the results of a trial conducted in Sydney three years ago that a hormone based treatment can switch on and off sperm production.
Maybe this will reduce the rate of vasectomies and vasectomy reversals in the future. You can read the entire article on a possible male contraceptive here.
