Male Hormonal Contraceptive is Reversible

Filed in archive News , Studies by Gloria Gamat on April 28, 2006

According to a paper published in the Lancet, the male hormonal contraception (delivered by injection) is reversible in 3 to 4 months: meaning, full fertility is recovered in this period.

The research finding offers men the reassurance that their fertility can be restored as most men are weary of using other contraceptive methods like condoms and vasectomy because either the method is unacceptable or irreversible.
