What are the contraceptive methods for men?

Contraception is something that every couple must do. Since the essence of sex is the process of conception between men and women, it is easy to get pregnant if you do not take any measures to have sex. So if you do not want to conceive, you need to use some methods of contraception. Generally speaking, scientific contraceptive methods are mainly to block the combination of sperm and egg cells, which fundamentally prevents the occurrence of pregnancy. So how should men use contraception?

Use condoms

Condoms are a male contraceptive tool that is easy to use and worth promoting. The advantage of condoms is that they have no side effects on both parties and are easy to use, but they will affect men's feelings and the contraceptive rate is not 100%. According to statistics, if condoms are used correctly, the failure rate is only 1.5-4.2%. However, in the actual use of condoms, the failure rate is as high as 10-15%. The main reason is that people fail to pay attention to some minor details when using condoms. If used correctly, the contraceptive rate is still very high.

Male oral contraceptives

Male oral contraceptives are oral pills specifically for men. They inhibit sperm production and reduce the number of sperm, resulting in oligospermia or even azoospermia and inability to conceive. Cottonpol is the representative of oral male contraceptives and the only drug that has ever been used clinically. This is because this chemical extracted from ordinary cotton seeds has a strong inhibitory effect on sperm production.

The above two are the most common male contraceptive methods in real life, so when using contraception, you must use reasonable contraceptive methods. In addition to the above, there are some other contraceptive methods, such as extracorporeal ejaculation, retaining semen, etc. The contraceptive effects of these two are not as good as the above, the contraceptive rate is very low, and it will cause harm to men.
