Very Practical, There Will Be Contraceptive Gel for Men that Can be Applied

"Dream - Contraceptive options so far have been more for women. There are very few for men, but it seems that there will be something new, namely in the form of a gel. This gel contraceptive was recently presented at the annual Endocrine Society meeting in Boston in 2024."

In phase 2 trial, a total of 222 men used the gel by applying 5 milliliters daily on the shoulder blade or shoulder area. The result was that 86% of them successfully reduced the sperm count within eight weeks, faster than the previous method.

"Content of Gel and Effectiveness"

This gel contains testosterone and Nestorone, a synthetic hormone also used in vaginal contraceptive rings, so it works faster and requires less testosterone. Previously, male hormonal contraception methods with injections took between 9 and 15 weeks to suppress sperm production.

The researchers are currently monitoring the effectiveness of the gel. The respondents must be in a committed monogamous relationship and obtain consent from their female partners. These partners must agree to use the gel as the only contraceptive method and engage in sexual intercourse at least once a month for a year.

Daniel Johnston from the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development said that despite 50 years of trying to develop male hormonal contraception, the main obstacle is the lack of funding.

However, if one male contraceptive drug is approved by the FDA, pharmaceutical companies may allocate more resources to the development of similar drugs.

"In the same meeting, YourChoice Therapeutics reported that their non-hormonal pill, YCT-529, showed safe and side-effect-free results in a small trial in England. This pill works by blocking the important vitamin A receptors for male fertility, and the company is planning a larger trial."

"Men's Interest in Contraception"

Dr. Brian Nguyen, a gel trial researcher, stated that surveys show many men are willing to use contraception. According to a 2023 survey published in the Journal Contraception, three-quarters of over 2,000 male respondents said they would try new contraceptive methods.
