In a ground breaking development for male contraception, scientists have unveiled a new gel that men can rub on their shoulders to significantly lower their sperm count. This innovative gel is not only safe and effective, but it also works faster than other methods currently available.
The gel, which is absorbed through the skin, managed to lower sperm counts to contraceptive levels in just eight weeks on average. This is a marked improvement over male contraceptive injections, which usually take between nine to 15 weeks to achieve the same effect.
Participants in the study reported no major side effects, making the gel a promising new option for men looking for reliable birth control. The convenience of simply applying the gel daily could make it a game changer, offering a hassle-free alternative to more invasive methods. This new gel arrives at a time when there’s a growing call for more male birth control options. With its quick effectiveness and ease of use, it could help balance the responsibility of family planning between partners.
