Kristina Gemzell-Danielsson of obstetrics and gynaecology at Karolinska Institutet in Sweden, said as well as focusing on men’s attitudes towards male contraception in different regions, institutional teaching also needs to be examined to further interest and change perceptions surrounding birth control responsibilities.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

With more focus on issues surrounding gender roles in recent times, Gemzell-Danielsson said a bigger interest in new methods of male contraception is due to changing perceptions of responsibility for family planning between partners.<\/p>\n

Gemzell-Danielsson has co-led the study to find a new contraceptive method for men, being a contraceptive gel, which has included 420 couples around the world, according to Svt, Sweden’s television broadcaster.<\/p>\n

Today, over 65% of women believe contraceptive responsibility leans on them and stated that it is a \u2018strongly gendered\u2019 notion, according to Gemzell-Danielsson’s co-authored book Female and Male Contraception<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Gemzell-Danielsson stated that currently, young men don\u2019t have other options to control their fertility besides condoms and vasectomies; she stated that it is time for that to change.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s not just the responsibility of women, but a joint responsibility\u201d.<\/p>\n

Gemzell-Danielsson explained that while theoretical discussions of action are healthy, knowledge of ongoing practices must be considered.<\/p>\n

For example, The International Federation of Gynaecology and Obstetrics global survey, \u2018Are sexual and reproductive health rights taught in medical school?\u2019 investigated the curriculum of medical schools to examine if family planning and comprehensive teaching was included efficiently.<\/p>\n

According to the survey, most respondents described the teaching of Sexual and Reproductive Health Rights (SRHR) as something the academic and medical community should do to generate change and advance women’s rights.<\/p>\n[aesop_quote type=”block” background=”#282828″ text=”#ffffff” align=”left” size=”2″ quote=”"…there is actually a majority of men who would be willing to use this method if it was available"” cite=”Kristina Gemzell-Danielsson” parallax=”off” direction=”left” revealfx=”off”]\n

A risk and challenge presented to tarnish SRHR learning in medical schools across the globe is that there are \u201csome issues not acceptable culturally and in the national interests\u201d.<\/p>\n

Developed regions hold a 73% reliance on female methods, which is also due to a lack of studies in reproductive health care for men.<\/p>\n

Although the discussion of new male contraceptive methods has been surrounded by criticism and scepticism, \u201cvarious surveys or studies that have been done in different countries [show] there is actually a majority of men who would be willing to use this method if it was available.\u201d said Gemzell-Danielsson.<\/p>\n

When asked when such contraceptive methods for men will be available in the market, the expert said, \u201c[possibly] 10 years\u2026 But it could be five to seven years\u2026it depends on funding and interest and so on\u2026in the best of worlds? As soon as possible\u201d.<\/p>\n\n
