According to previous data statistics, China currently has about 13 million induced abortions annually, and induced abortion can cause great harm to women's bodies, especially the reproductive system.

However, due to the lack of sex education in China, similar situations have occurred multiple times, especially repeated abortions may lead to infertility, habitual abortion, dystocia, menstrual disorders, chronic pelvic inflammation, ectopic pregnancy, endometriosis, and so on.

Although the use of condoms has been widely promoted, many men still find various excuses not to wear them during intimate moments with their partners.

So previously, there were 避孕药 available in the market, but unfortunately, they were all for women.

Among women's 避孕药, emergency 避孕药 is the most harmful to women's bodies, while short-term and long-term 避孕药 are not well recognized by many people for their effects.

However, thankfully, with the support of mainstream culture, women are no longer subjected to excessive discrimination, and this is when male 避孕药 came into being.

There have been methods on the market that use drugs to lower testosterone levels, thereby reducing the production of sperm cells in the testes to achieve contraception.

Another method involves using cottonseed oil to damage the sperm, sperm cells, and spermatogonia in the seminiferous tubules of the testes, inhibiting the process of sperm production, making the semen lack sperm, thereby achieving the effect of contraception.

In fact, the development of male contraceptives has long been underway, but it was not supported much at the time.

As early as 1957, Gregory Pincus, the co-inventor of the female contraceptive, first tested the same hormonal contraception strategy on men, and since then, scientists have begun to explore various hormonal and non-hormonal male contraception methods.

From 1986 to 1996, the World Health Organization conducted international multicenter cooperative research on its efficacy. The results showed that among the 271 participants in the experiment, 157 (58%) experienced azoospermia during the 6-month suppression period. Considering the time factor, the average pregnancy rate was 0.8% per year; 65 cases did not develop azoospermia, and 46 cases withdrew due to various reasons, failing to complete the suppressor injections.

Due to long usage duration, poor effectiveness, and side effects such as reduced testicular volume, acne, changes in libido, and weight gain, it cannot be widely adopted.

Secondly, the research and development costs are enormous, and since the culture is relatively closed off, most people believe that contraception should be the responsibility of women, which is why male contraception pills have only started to become popular in the market now. This path has been very arduous.

Recently, a study published in *Nature Communications* revealed a significant breakthrough in male contraception.

A breakthrough has been achieved in the research of non-hormonal male contraceptives, as the lactone ketone found in the plant Tripterygium wilfordii can be used as a non-hormonal male contraceptive.

After 10 years of research, researchers found that this method is almost 100% effective and has no significant side effects.

%% And after stopping the medication, male fertility can be fully restored, which is good news.

Having a child is a joint responsibility for both partners. The burden of contraception shouldn't fall solely on women.

When this contraceptive pill is released, would you use it?
