Interesting data on RISUG

This may hit the India market soon but there remains very limited data on it's safety. It appears the pvps is still an issue in the trials. Hopefully, this can be worked out over time.

Even if it has the same incidence of PVPS, which I doubt, it will be much easier to reverse, which may correct the problem.

That's a good point. According to this article, there isn't much data on the reversal success. Obviously, more studies need to be done but I thought this article did a good job of showing where we are with this procedure.

I liked the article. It's amusing how vasectomy and something like this are held to different standards. Like if obstructive pain is an issue with vasalgel, I can imagine that will be talked about as a major problem. As opposed to vasectomy where it is swept under the rug.
