Vacuna anticonceptiva para hombres estaría lista para 2023

Vacuna anticonceptiva para hombres estaría lista para 2023

Un método anticonceptivo masculino en forma de vacuna, cuyos efectos podrían durar hasta 10 años, debería estar listo en, aproximadamente, un año; eso es lo que aseguran científicos del Instituto Indio de Tecnología, quienes desarrollan el “Risug”. La inyección completó sus pruebas finales y se consideró mejor que la vasectomía, ya que es menos dolorosa y, además, reversible, es decir, que se…

It’s weird being a bit ahead of the news curve sometimes. Hormone-based contraceptive pills have always been bad for everyone (in specific cases they’ve been beneficial in the same way that ingesting mercury can occasionally be more than just poison for people). 

The goal is or should be to prevent conception and do very little else.

The only reason anyone’s investing money into hormone pills marketed toward men is because hormone pills are FUCKING LUCRATIVE AS SHIT. Vasectomies are anywhere from free to $1k whereas birth control (citing progesterone/estrogen combo pills) is either covered by insurance or up to around $50 a month FOR 10-20+ YEARS. Even if you only pay $10 a month and only stay on it from say 18-28 that’s still more costly than the vasectomy, and I would not be at all surprised if male-marketed hormone pills are more expensive simply because the R&D was more costly (because they bothered to do it at all this time).

I’m actually really passionate about contraceptives and I’ll stand by RISUG/Vasalgel being the best possible thing for everybody to get in on.

In fact let me link to their page here where you can learn about it and donate. I’ll make a separate post about it because anyone who wants to talk shit about men hating hormone pills can drop $20 right in there ffs then no one has to take them.

Contraceptif pour hommes

This could be the answer to your male birth control prayers.

I was talking about male contraceptive (RISUG) and this girl is saying that everyone should just wait until marriage as if that's reasonable to expect of 5k college students?? Like good for you if that's what you want but I'd rather the rest of the school know about contraception options??

Known as “the male birth control injection,” an application called RISUG (Reversible Inhibition of Sperm Under Guidance) was invented in India in the 1970s by Sujoy Guha, a professor of biomedical engineering at the Indian Institute of Technology. It’s affordable, minimally invasive, and fully reversible—and it’s the most effective, non-permanent way of preventing pregnancy (from the sperm side) the world has ever seen, according to studies so far.

The Perfect Birth Control for Men Is Here. Why Can't We Use It?

So that Vaselgel both control, does it prevent someone from ejaculating? Or only block sperm? How is a blockage safe? I would think it could cause a buildup issue, of course I'm no expert, and would love to learn!

It’s been a while since I read about the procedure but I doubt it’s changed.

Basically, they inject a certain type of “magnetic” gel that allows the passage of everything except sperm. Sperm cells are ripped apart from the “magnetic pull” of the gel, so there’s no build up (in any case, sperm cells naturally dissolve and return if they go unused - the testicles are constantly recycling, which is why vasectomies are fine).

The gel DOES allow ejaculation, it just prevents sperm from joining the seminal fluids. The gel is very effective at destroying sperm alone, but its placement only allows it to destroy sperm that is being ejaculated, so that it’s not a true sterilization and the removal of the gel returns everything to normal.

The Revolutionary New Birth Control Method for Men | WIRED

A maverick Indian scientist has developed an elegant, injectable, easily reversible birth control method for men.

According to Wikipedia (add grain of salt...)

The drug is currently undergoing successful animal trials in the United States. Initially it was hoped that human trials would commence by the end of 2013 and become available to patients by 2015;[9] FDA regulations have delayed the approval of Vasalgel and human trials are now expected to begin to 2015 with prospective market release as early as Q4 2016.[10]
