Birth control and family planning has always been associated with women, and apart from vasectomy, men who would like to plan still have little or no other options. However, all that is about to change with the recent male birth control pill that passed safety and tolerability tests, when a selected number of men took it for one month on a daily basis.

The March 2019 study was jointly led by Professor Stephanie Page from the University Of Washington School Of Medicine and Professor Christina Wang from Los Angeles.
