    So, Vasalgel from a different company. I honestly don’t understand why this isn’t a product yet. Getting a vasectomy is so difficult as there’s still a lot of prejudice and because it’s seen a permanent. Urologists, maybe even the conservative ones would be willing to use it as it wouldn’t interfere with the traditional views of “men have to make babies! it’s a man’s duty!” that much.
