Male contraceptive gel

Male contraceptive gel is a topical medication designed to prevent pregnancy by reducing sperm production or blocking sperm's ability to fertilize an egg. Applied directly to the skin, typically on the shoulders or upper arms, it delivers hormones or other agents that temporarily suppress sperm development without affecting testosterone levels significantly. The gel offers a non-invasive, reversible method of contraception, providing men with more control over family planning and reducing reliance on condoms or male sterilization. Its effectiveness depends on proper, consistent application, and research continues to refine its safety and efficacy.
