A historic medical breakthrough is coming in a few years, the male birth control injection.

"For decades, women along have had to deal with health complications caused by hormonal methods of birth control, not to mention the inconvenience of unpredictable periods and setting daily pill reminders," Marie Claire said in its report.

Does this mean goodbye to the painful vasectomy and other methods?

The male birth control is called Vasalgel, a non-hormonal control alternative said to be the first male contraceptive approved by FDA since the condom.

According to the report, Vasalgel is directly injected into the passageways that transport sperm, which blocks the release of the sperm and allows other fluids to get through.

The functionality of this male birth control option is said to reduce the risk of pain because of back pressure which is often encountered with vasectomies, The Telegraph reported.

"For women, it will be life-changing to have men help out in the contraceptive department, with a method other than condoms," the report said. "They could replace or supplementing a woman's existing method - both partners taking something is better than one."

Telegraph also noted that condoms are not the perfect way to prevent pregnancy. The release of this male birth control option is seen as a "game-changer."

The report added that condom use has an annual pregnancy rate of two percent and in reality, it is at 18 percent because couples are not always devoted to use condoms correctly and constantly during sexual activities.

"It moves the contraceptive burden into shared territory," the report added.

This male birth control option has reportedly gathered some funding from governments, but they are still not enough.

The male birth control injection is reportedly expected to be released around 2018 to 2020.

One injection is said to last for years. If a man needs to undo its effects, reports said a second injection will make it happen.
