Is male contraceptives reliable? On the advantages and disadvantages of male contraceptives

Why only female contraceptives? Why only let women suffer from taking medicine? Do you have male contraceptives? These calls for equality from women's rights have been answered, and male contraceptives have come out. Some friends will ask, what are the male contraceptives? At present, only Meridian and Indonesia have produced male contraceptives, which are still in the testing period and have not been widely disseminated. So what are the male oral contraceptives really can't be said! Let's talk about in-depth issues.

What is the effect of male contraceptives? Medical clinical animal experiments have shown that gossypol acetate is a male contraceptive, which can destroy sperm, sperm cells and mother cells in testicular seminiferous tubules, strongly inhibit sperm production and activity, and lead to sperm deficiency in semen. After short-term administration, the fertility of animals can be restored after drug withdrawal. The clinical trial results show that the effective rate of this product is more than 99%. However, about 1% of drug users have hypokalemic myasthenia during taking drugs, which cannot be promoted. At present, contraceptives are oral contraceptives, including female/male contraceptives. In modern society, the frequency of female contraceptive use is absolutely leading. With more than 20 years of experience, different women have different feelings. Some women are willing to use this method of contraception, while others do not want to use it. Male contraceptive methods mainly include condom and vasectomy. The former has a high failure rate, while the latter is irreversible. In developed countries, vasectomy is common in men.

Do male contraceptives have side effects? In the Netherlands, 50% of couples over 35 years old choose surgical contraception and 70% choose male vasectomy. In New Zealand, more than half of middle-aged men (over 40 years old) have undergone ligation surgery, and 40000 times a year in the UK. Male contraceptives not only provide effective contraception, but also ensure male fertility. Clinical tests have proved that the successful contraceptive rate of male contraceptives is more than 99%, and there are almost no side effects. Anderson, a researcher on human reproduction at the University of Edinburgh in Scotland, said that the results of a series of tests showed that if the rate of side effects of female contraceptives was 80%, the side effects of male contraceptives were likely to be around 0.8%. The side effects of female contraceptives include mood swings, blood coagulation, dizziness, nausea and headache. The side effects of male contraceptives should be minimal and only lead to slight weight gain.

Experts pointed out that another advantage of male contraceptives is "reversibility". It is important to know that ligation surgery may lead to infertility, but male contraceptives do not have this disadvantage. If a male who has taken the contraceptive pill wants to have a baby, he can resume normal fertility as long as he stops taking the pill for 16 weeks (4-5 months).
