The question is what are the side effects
They should really be weighed against the current side effects associated with the hormonal pill.
Off the top of my head (not a doctor!), these include: depression, nausea, headaches and a myriad of others.
An exciting development, but the drug affects the body’s use of Vitamin A so I think they need more studies looking for non-reproductive side effects.
Night blindness and immune dysfunction are associated with vitamin A deficiency.

Vasalgel is a better, proven, effective, safe, and easily reversible option.
Why hasn’t it been approved yet?
Easier to get guys to take a pill than agree to a needle to the ballsack.
Even so, there is a lot of interest in vasalgel. That’s not what’s holding it up.
Abstinence is another easy and free solution but it also hasn’t been approved yet I guess.
Cool, I just won’t touch my wife ever again, thanks for the advice.
Not sure how that’s relevant at all. This is a waste of resources and of money one way or another

Wow, I find that that’s a level of unwarranted personal attack
could you explain to me why a communist is advocating for abstinence?
Contraception is a waste of time and resources when there is a free and 100% effective method for most people
you cannot be serious
I have no clue what you mean. I can’t be serious about saying that just not engaging in such unnecessary stupidity would save money and effort?
Title is blatantly wrong.
How so?
