(Aug. 4, 2006) -- Reversible birth control for guys may be just a few years away. Tiny sperm-blocking silicone plugs will get their first long-term study in 90 men this fall in Seattle and St. Paul, MN.

During a 20-minute procedure, the Intra Vas Device (IVD) is placed into the tubes that deliver sperm. Preliminary studies suggest only a day or two of soreness, no worse than from a vasectomy, says Neil Pollack, MD, cofounder of Shepherd Medical Company, the IVD's Vancouver-based developer. The plugs should be easy to remove when a couple wants to conceive. Shepherd Medical hopes to market the IVD by 2011.

I'm not a physician, but it's my understanding that back pressure in the vas can easily cause irreversible damage to very delicate structures in the testes. Therefore I wonder quite how “reversible” this process is.

I don't know about internal damage, but I tell you, she better watch out, after a couple of days with those plugs I'd be shooting them across the room like lethal weapons the next time I had sex.
