Scientists at Cornell University may be closing in on the long-sought “holy grail” of male contraception: a safe, reversible, nonhormonal method that completely halts sperm production. In a breakthrough mouse study, researchers used a compound called JQ1 to temporarily shut down meiosis—the critical process that produces sperm—without causing lasting harm. After treatment stopped, sperm production bounced back, fertility returned, and the animals produced healthy offspring.
It’s even better (worse) - women’s self-reported pain levels and symptoms are often dismissed and underestimated by doctors and researchers.
So even when reporting on the side-effects on birth control, women are not taken seriously.
Oh dude I know it. In the beginning of my partner and mine’s relationship, she was constantly throwing up in the middle of the night. This went on for like 3-4 yrs. The doctors gave us a bunch of bullshit about it. Told her basically it was her fault. Ended up being her birth control.
She had an iud at one time that gave her cysts in her ovaries. I have seen this woman be in so much pain and stuff it down to keep going through the day.
I’ll fucking fight you (not you) if you say women are weak to my face.
Thanks dude/dudette. It’s refreshing to see this energy here and it’s really awesome.
