What Is The Future Of Male Contraception?

Another male contraceptive is the adherin. Adhering is also among male contraceptives that interferes with sperm formation in the testes. It inhibits the way cells in the testes work towards the development of mature sperms. Adherin has minimal or no side effects even after tests performed on rats indicated that the introduction of adherin led to a very low sperm count. It is a contraceptive that is still under investigation and it will be in the market soon. Once the normal development of the sperm is interfered with, the male can no longer be able to release sperms with a capacity of fertilizing an egg. The man is no longer fertile but do not feel scared because it is only temporary. Once this contraceptive is withdrawn fertility returns to normal within a period of 3-4 months.
Another formula that is used as a male contraceptive is by blocking the development of sperms without any alteration of the testerone levels in the body. Controlling hormonal changes would adversely affect some body functions in a person. The contraceptive ought to be user friendly with minimal or no side effects. This is the reason why all these male contraceptives are still research projects. They have not yet been formally introduced into the mainstream market. Apart from vasectomy and condoms all the rest of male contraceptives are still on trial. Blocking the development of sperms is either achieved through the introduction of an injectable drug into the body. Sometimes it can be a direct ingestion of a contraceptive.
The androgen-progestine is the most recent invention among male contraceptives. But do no start smiling yet because like the rest of the contraceptives it is still on trial. It might have to wait for several years before you officially see it in the market. Androgen-progesterone is intended at control those hormones and chemical change in the body that aid in sperm development. Their is a risk of having terrible side effects of toxic accumulation of harmful substances in the body. A trial done on rats however did not show any toxic deposits from the contraceptive. Apart from this risk, hormonal alterations in the body will interfere with normal body functions. The contraceptive is being further researched on to overcome such challenges.

Good day! This is a nice and helpful topic. I sujest that young boys should read it carefuly, to know more…
I also have one question - isn’t it bad for the health when using adherin?

It’s always easier to do the male contraception than women’s! Maybe good or bad.

Taking any medication or hormone could potentially have serious long term effects. I’m glad they are taking the time to study this in depth. On the note of contraception, I had no idea there were so many options for men. Unbelievable, but great!

hopefully, the use of androgen-progestine research as male contraceptive can be done immediately and can be applied, because many of contraceptive failure in men because of they are less comfortable.

I would like to know how reliable these different forms of contaception are. I’ve read somewhere that with the MRU and MPU method there is a rare chance that the body naturally heals this obstruction, making the man vertile again without knowing it.
I am not sure if this is true or not, but it would be a nasty shock!

I doubt they guarantee this method is absolutely safe. As for me I am against interfering into nature. Birth control is needed, but chemistry, blocks, surgery, etc. may do harm.

i don’t agree woman has easier way…

I am not sure about changing hormone levels unnaturally. How can you ever test such things? Long term case studies? Our bodies work all differently there is no standard human being. As you hear I am not a big fan of things like this.
Thanks for the article kinda complicated topic

I agree with Leamo. It’s always easier for male.But no contraception is 100% effective.

A lot of the market for male contraception would not exist if guys knew how to control themselves properly.

Researchers from around the world are also announcing new targets for contraception, and incremental progress on hormonal approaches (”the male Pill”). Many other teams presented late-breaking news during the poster session.
