Abstract

Nowadays, conscious planning of the family is very important for many people. The possibility of using protective measures against unplanned pregnancy is a great comfort. Most forms of contraceptives are intended for women, although their use can be ruled out in various health conditions. Scientists have been trying to develop a different type of method for men for many years. More and more research is being done and there have been promising results. It is hoped that soon both genders will have a similar range of contraceptive options to enable responsible family planning.

Keywords: Contraception; Male contraception; Male hormonal contraception.
