Male Contraceptive Pill

Description
Male injectable hormonal contraception is not available at the moment; however, studies suggest that the combination of the hormones testosterone and progesterone may provide a safe, effective and reversible male contraceptive.
Trials of different forms of male hormonal contraceptive continue in different countries throughout the world. In Australia researchers have developed a combination treatment to suppress sperm production in a reliable and reversible way. This involves a hormone implant of testosterone being placed under the skin every four months and a top-up injection of progesterone given every three months. The method was tested on 55 men over a period of 12 months and no pregnancies occurred. All participants retained their normal energy and libido (sex drive) levels. More testing and development needs to be done before the method becomes available.
