O anticoncepcional em gel, conhecido como Vasalgel, deve ser aplicado nos canais deferentes, que são os canais que conduzem o espermatozoide dos testículos ao pênis, e atua bloqueando a passagem dos espermatozoides por até 10 anos. Porém, é possível reverter esta situação através da aplicação de uma injeção de bicarbonato de sódio no local, o que poucas vezes é possível na vasectomia.
Vasalgel has no contraindications or alters the production of male hormones, but is still in the testing phase.
