ULTRASOUND CAN BE USED FOR MALE CONTRACEPTION

BBC:

Scientists are beginning tests to see if ultrasound can be used as a reversible contraceptive for men.

Lead researcher Dr James Tsuruta said: "We think this could provide men with up to six months of reliable, low-cost, non-hormonal contraception from a single round of treatment.
