Modern medicine is primarily aimed at creating new methods of contraception for women, while men are in search of a reliable method to protect themselves from unwanted pregnancy of their partner.
This situation is primarily associated with the nature of male sperm, because they tend to form in excessively large quantities daily, but for a woman it is enough to block the productive activity of her egg cell with drunk tablets.
Specialists in many countries worked hard for a long time, creating contraceptives for men that could reliably protect against pregnancy. Israeli scientists were able to achieve their goal, and thanks to many studies and experiments, they were able to create a male contraceptive, which is enough to take once every three months.
Contraceptive pills for men will contain a certain amount of male sex hormones - testosterone, which in large quantities is able to block the functionality of sperm in the male body. Contraceptives for men are only temporary, after taking them for a short period of time, the hematogenesis will immediately recover.
Among modern contraceptive methods, peculiar implants can also be used - special items 2.5 cm long that are inserted under the skin. They act on the fertilization process in such a way that active, modified testosterone that blocks the hematogenesis enters the bloodstream. The advantages of this method of contraception is the ability to forget for a long time about the use of contraceptives for both men and women.
These contraceptives for men affect the quality of the protein in the sperm, on which the fertilization process depends. This method is still at the test level, and men still use the earlier known contraceptives.
For many years, contraceptives for men such as condoms have been successful. They have existed for more than 400 years, and were originally created as a protective tool against many infectious genital diseases. This contraceptive is made of latex, a sufficiently thin and durable material that allows you to maximize maintain a pleasant sensation during intercourse, but at the same time creates a reliable barrier to the exit of sperm.
The reliability of condoms primarily depends on their quality and the ability of men to use them. With the correct use of a quality contraceptive, in addition to protection against pregnancy, the likelihood of contracting sexually transmitted infections and HIV is also excluded. The main disadvantage of a condom is its ability to tear and slip, increasing the risk of pregnancy.
Some men resort to surgical intervention as a suspension of sperm reproductive function. In medicine, a well-known method of contraception for men as a vasectomy, which means the intersection of the vas deferens. Such an operation takes place very quickly, within 30 minutes, and after 2-3 months - the need for contraception is completely eliminated.
The main advantage of male sterilization is the reliability of the method, because after the operation, the woman has no opportunity to get pregnant from her partner. But also there are drawbacks, this is primarily the irreversibility of the process - a man will forever remain barren. In addition, a vasectomy is one of the most expensive operations, so not everyone can afford it.
Most people who have regular sexual partners use interrupted intercourse as contraception . Only with this method you can experience all the sensations of having sex, but this is one of the most ineffective and safest ways to prevent unwanted pregnancy.
