Originally published on December 9, 2013 <br /><br />Scientists in Australia have found a safe, effective and reversible approach to stop sperm transportation following ejaculation without affecting men's virility and libido.<br />Previous contraceptive pills have tried either to alter a man's hormones or to make sperm unproductive. The new technique is expected to work like a temporary vasectomy. <br /><br />Scientists at Monash University used genetically modified mice to trial a drug that blocks two proteins required to move sperm. The mice appeared normal and had sex normally, but sperm remained in the male's testes.<br /><br />The researchers are now in search of a pair of drugs that can produce the same effect in humans. Lead researcher Sab Ventura told Medical News that a male pill based on the research could be possible within the next 10 years.<br /><br />Allan Pacey, a fertility expert at Sheffield University, told the Daily Mail: "We need to do a few studies in humans to be sure this works in the way it has in mice and there are no side-effects."<br /><br />--------------------------------------------------------<br /><br />TomoNews is your daily source for top animated news.
