Recently, scientists developed <strong>YCT529<\/strong> drastically reduced sperm count, was 99% effective in preventing pregnancy in mice and didn&#8217;t cause observable side effects. The new oral contraception is expected to enter human trials by the end of the year.

Researchers have wanted to find an effective male contraceptive pill since it was first approved in the 1960s. Plus, studies show that men are also interested in sharing the responsibility of birth control. Before, men only had two options &#8211; condoms or vasectomies. However, vasectomies are expensive and not 100% successful.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How The Male Contraceptive Pill Works<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Scientists had to target the male sex hormone <strong>testosterone <\/strong>to develop the pill.

However, it causes severe side effects such as weight gain, depression, and increased cholesterol levels known as low-density lipoprotein, which increases heart disease risks. Some of these side effects are not uncommon for women who take birth control to experience. The female pill has side effects such as blood-clotting, weight gain, etc. Also, about four to six weeks after being taken off the drug, infertility in the mice was reversed; therefore, the mice were able to get their partners pregnant.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The team of scientists received funding from the <strong>National Institutes of Health <\/strong>and the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.malecontraceptive.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Male Contraceptive Initiative<\/a><\/strong>.
