Why are there no long acting reversible contraception (LARC) options for men?

917 views

LARC options include the copper IUD, progestogen-only intrauterine system (IUS), progestogen-only injectable contraceptives and progestogen-only subdermal implants.

There are no LARC options for men, only a permanent vasectomy –

Is there a biological reason it’s easier for women to have these options?

There is one in India known as Risug, attempts to make it available in america are going very slowly as condom makers and monthly birth control pills make more money and require return customers. Vasalgel is the name of the american version and the cost is tiny as the solution injected to the vas deferens (teste tubes) costs less than the syringe used to inject it. it lasts about ten years.
