I wish the US had some of the options for male sterilization/contraception that are available in India. I've asked my doctor for years about some of the options available in other countries and am always given a blank stare of ignorance.

What about vasectomies? They seem to be widely known

These can be difficult to get for younger, childless men. Even younger men (<40) with children receive push back from physicians in getting the procedure because it can be difficult to reverse.

Then you can assume alternatives would also be difficult to get approval for. I can't imagine some chemical option would be preferable to a physical disconnection anyway.

I think the point is other options (vasogel or something for example) are easily reversed and are non-surgical

I feel more people should know about "heat-based contraception" for men. Literally, taking very hot baths can cause temporary reversible sterility.

What options are you talking about? I am only aware of vasectomies.
