BREAKTHROUGH!!! Male Birth Control Injection Is Here

The female folks can now heave a sigh of relief from being, most often than none the target of fertility control as a new study has validated that a male birth control shot is effective at preventing pregnancy.

I’m sure this news will probably get a woah! from women than men, as the men may tend to ignore it, but the findings is true that before now, the choice of birth control for men is limited to condoms, withdrawal, and vasectomy. The male birth control shot may provide more choice for controlling male fertility in the future.

According to the report published on Medical News Today, titled: “Male birth control shot shows promise” , it was revealed that the aim of the new study was to test the effectiveness and safety of giving men injections of a long-acting progestogen called norethisterone enanthate, alongside replacement doses of a long-acting androgen called testosterone undecanoate, for preventing pregnancy in female partners.

“The primary study objectives were to suppress the men's sperm count to below 1 million per milliliter through using birth control shots, maintaining sperm count suppression, and ensuring sperm count returns to normal limits”.

The researchers also measured concentrations of steroid hormones and gonadotropins, monitored adverse events to determine the safety of the hormone concoction, and issued questionnaires to see if participants were accepting of using the method.

“The study found it is possible to have a hormonal contraceptive for men that reduces the risk of unplanned pregnancies in the partners of men who use it," says study author Dr. Mario Philip Reyes Festin, of the World Health Organization (WHO). "Our findings confirmed the efficacy of this contraceptive method previously seen in small studies."

Thus, hearty cheers to women for the great relief, while we say a big welcome to our male counterparts for coming onboard into more choices of birth control.

Hope you wouldn’t say I’m biased though my tone?*winks*
