When it comes to contraceptives, we will think of women's emergency contraceptives and short contraceptives. But in fact, contraceptives are not only owned by women, but also men's contraceptives. So let's investigate the common sense of men's contraceptives with Xiao Bian.
What is the male contraceptive pill?
Gossypol acetate contained in male contraceptives can destroy sperm, spermatocytes and spermatids in the convoluted tubules of the testes, inhibit the process of sperm production, and make the semen lack the effect of promoting success. As long as the drug is stopped, Fertility can be restored. The contraceptive effect of male contraceptives can reach more than 99%, which will not bring too many side effects to the body and will only increase the weight slightly. In addition, male contraceptives will not be as difficult to reverse as Vas deferens resection. As long as men stop taking contraceptives for 16 weeks, they can restore normal reproductive function.
Men usually take Gonadotropin-releasing hormone for a long time, mainly by reducing the secretion of pituitary Gonadotropin and inhibiting the effect of nerves. Antibodies to Follicle-stimulating hormone and luteinizing hormone can also be used to block the effect of these two hormones. If the effect of the antibody cannot resist the technology, it may cause unnecessary side effects. Gossypol inhibits spermatogenic cells, which is the price of male oral contraceptives. It is very cheap, easy to use, but has side effects. What is the harm of male contraceptives?
1. Luteinizing hormone releasing hormone
The inhibins produced by male contraceptives will reduce the testosterone content and hinder the production of sperm. Drugs that inhibit ejaculation, such as tolasoline and phenobromosol, will prevent the contraction of the testes and Vas deferens, impede ejaculation, and ultimately lead to male infertility. The physical methods mainly include ligation of the Vas deferens or condoms. Laser irradiation or cooling of testes can also inhibit the neural function of Germ cell.
2. Androgen
After 60 days of injection of testosterone, the testicles will shrink, thus stopping sperm production. After five months of discontinuation, the testicular function will rebound, producing a large amount of sperm. Therefore, testosterone can be used as a contraceptive pill in the early stages, and after discontinuation, it can treat oligospermia.
3. Gossypol
Through research, it is found that gossypol has a very good antifertility function, mainly acting on the spermatogenic cells of the testis, so it will inhibit the production of sperm. However, after taking gossypol, Hypokalemia will occur, resulting in muscle weakness, and Fertility will be difficult to recover after stopping taking the medicine.
