Male contraception

Male contraception refers to methods used by men to prevent unwanted pregnancies. The most common method is condoms, which create a barrier to stop sperm from reaching the egg. Another option is vasectomy, a surgical procedure that cuts and seals the tubes carrying sperm. Research is ongoing into hormonal methods, like pills or injections that reduce sperm production. Male contraception plays a crucial role in shared responsibility for family planning, allowing couples to make informed choices about reproduction together. It’s important for men to be aware of these options to participate actively in contraceptive decisions.
