Men Deserve Birth Control Options, Too

Elaine Lissner is a director of the male contraceptive information project and the Parsemus Foundation and is sponsoring the development of contraceptives including Vasalgel and H.I.V. Reduce the spread of drugs

In the dating market, you are his male in his 20's or 30's. You are going to graduate from autumn school and your whole life. You meet a woman who looks very promising; after you have been dating for several months, she stops using condoms because she is drinking contraceptive pills. However, you are reading an article that you forget to drink about 3 tablets per cycle even for half of the young women ladies motivated motivated. Are you nervous?

In our efforts to improve the family planning program, we overlooked half of mankind: the man did not get a new choice for more than a century. And it is not that men are not interested: men used the two methods they have - condoms, these methods are not perfect. Coupled with smoking cessation, men account for nearly one-third of contraceptive use in the United States. At least in the United States, the idea that men do not want to participate is obviously obsolete.

However, developing long-term, reversible methods for men is still not considered a priority. The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and the National Development Agency seriously consider women's long-term choice, but not in men. The National Institute of Health funds helped some researchers complete the first step, but could not complete the multi-million dollar mission of putting potential products on the market .

Then, is the new method always 5 to 10 years long? If we want a new option, we need to complete a job that has already begun, not a more basic research.

More than 23,000 men and women signed a petition requiring a new method and 18,000 men and women were waiting to hear Vasalgel's furthest clinical trial. Those who want to control the fate of reproductive have already donated thousands of dollars to this project.

Given the lack of massive sponsor support, Vasalgel is the most likely way to enter the US market in the near future; fortunately it is a device, not a medicine, and is increasingly popular I am doing some sports. If social investors strengthen, it has opportunities. This method is not that far, but it can be greatly reduced due to the lack of research of $ 300,000, the transmission is stagnant.

Continue to concentrate, invest in appropriate resources, and accomplish your work. Do men (and their partners) ask so much?

Study fertility treatment and women with diabetes and their best choice. No, obviously, I will take my child for 9 months and squeeze it out of a lemon-sized hole Each month, we have lots of happy loopholes. And the man got Viagra. There is no standard for young women like me to combine many diseases with contraception. It is like playing Russian roulette seeking help from a doctor

Birth control is often associated with female responsibility and male contraceptives have the only option for condom or vasectomy. However, little is known about the fact that various leading medical companies are conducting birth control in various forms of men. The recent headline news has been that research failed due to hypocritical side effects of reports by men. The World Health Organization (WHO) has developed a contraceptive method for injectable men. The shot contained two hormones, progesterone and testosterone, which were given to 320 men every 8 weeks. The goal is to reduce the number of sperm, but still to enable men to produce sperm. About 15 million spermatozoa per ml for each ejaculation, this injection produces 3 million sperm per milliliter in men. This greatly reduces the chances of pregnancy and the success rate of this study is 96%.
