Methods of Contraception: Future Methods of Contraception

In addition to the already-mentioned hormonal and non-hormonal injections for men now in the trial phase, there are continuing attempts to develop new non-surgical and reversible sterilization procedures. In addition, researchers are working on better implants and on some new “unisex contraception” suitable for both women and men. This would prevent the release of the hormones FSH (follicle stimulating hormone) and LH (luteinizing hormone) from the pituitary gland. Since these hormones are necessary for the development of both eggs (oogenesis) and sperm (spermatogenesis), blocking their release would render both females and males infertile for the time in which the method is used.
