The burden of taking contraceptive pills or having devices implanted has been what a lot of women have been doing to avoid unwanted/unplanned pregnancies.

Now, scientists have revealed that the first male contraceptive injection could soon be available.
The shot, called Vasalgel, is non-hormonal and long-acting , potentially reversible and has been shown to block sperm for up to 1 year.
 
According to the non-profit Parsemus Foundation, of Berkeley, California, clinical testing of the shot will begin some time this year.
 
According to the research done, a lot of men said they were willing to try a new form of contraception that is reversible unlike vasectomy.

The shot consists of styrene-alt-maleic acid (SMA) that is dissolved in dimethyl sulfoxide will be the first to reach the market, researchers noted.
