Male Birth Control: New Procedure Is 100 Percent Effective, Reversible

Male Birth Control: New Procedure Is 100 Percent Effective, Reversible: " the procedure, which is in advanced clinical trials in India, has been found to be 100 percent effective.

One downside -- depending on how you feel about shots -- is that it requires the man's penis to be injected with a polymer gel called Vasalgel, after a local anesthetic has been given. The substance works by breaking apart sperm.

The whole procedure takes about 15 minutes and lasts ten years or more and is more easily reversible than a vasectomy.

As the Male Contraception Information Project notes , if a man decides he'd like to have his sperm up and running again, he can get another shot and, within two to three months, the baby-making can commence."
