Innovation and Challenges in Male Contraception

Abstract

The unwanted cases of pregnancy have increased resulting in improper family planning and cases of depression or stillbirth. The decision regarding reproduction is shared equivalently by men and women. Although the contraception methods result in effectiveness, they have more complications than effective results. Hormonal disbalance and endometriosis are a few such examples. Contraception for males is limited, yet has more effective results and fewer complications. The development of male contraception is vastly researched over the past few decades. Various hormonal and non-hormonal methods are being developed to provide better contraception with minimum or no disadvantage. The basic advantage of developing a male contraceptive includes its availability, low cost, no side effects, and ease of use.
