Birth control pill for men - An alternative to sterilization

 

Earlier all burden goes to ladies to take birth control pills before intercourse or put intrauterine devices in the uterus. It had been observed that the contraceptive pills for women were based on hormonal control that gives many side effects on their health. Now, the birth control pill for men, an alternative to sterilization, has been successfully developed. 

These pills must be taken before making a physical relationship and the effect will last for 3 hours. Till now the pressure to prevent unwanted pregnancy was on women. Indian women are most dependent on contraceptive drugs to control unwanted pregnancies.

According to recent research by the American Medical Agency 'National Institute of Health', contraceptive medicines have been made for men. Women will not become pregnant even after having sex after taking this medicine. 

Though the research has gone successful, this is still considered the first phase of research. Therefore, there is no information about when it will be available in the worldwide market. It is also not possible to tell at the moment whether it will be available in the US market first or will be launched simultaneously in all the countries. 

The pills that women are taking affect their hormones. In this research done in America, it is claimed that there is no such effect with male contraceptive pills. It has been named Non-Hormonal Contraceptive Pills. That is, its use will reduce the testosterone of men but will not eliminate it. 

After consuming these pills, the male sperm can be prevented from swimming toward the female eggs. We may say in other words that the stage can be prevented from maturing so that the egg cant get fertilized and takes the form of an embryo. The role of sperm in pregnancy is that it moves and reaches the female reproductive tract. In making this work successful, the main role of an enzyme named adenylyl cyclase (SAC) is played. After eating these pills, this enzyme will be blocked. 

Researcher Tamar Jacobson says that these pills are a better option for male contraception than condoms and vasectomy. Their use will increase family planning options for both men and women and help prevent unwanted pregnancies. Men were not active in family planning till now, but they may become more active after this option. This pill has to be taken sometime before intercourse. 

There is a protein in the male body that makes the sperm move. This pill will destroy that protein for some time, due to which the sperm will not be able to move. This will not lead to fertilization. Side effects of these pills have not still been reported.  These male contraceptive pills are not hormone-based pills.

Urinary tract infections (UTIs) and Woman health during menopause

UTI and Woman's Health:

Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are a common health issue, and women are more susceptible to them due to their anatomy. If a woman in India is experiencing symptoms of a UTI, such as painful or frequent urination, lower abdominal pain, cloudy or strong-smelling urine, and fever, she should see a doctor as soon as possible. The doctor may perform a urine test to confirm the diagnosis and prescribe antibiotics to treat the infection.

It's important for anyone with a UTI to finish the entire course of antibiotics, even if their symptoms improve before the end of treatment. This helps to ensure that all the bacteria causing the infection are eradicated, reducing the risk of the infection returning or becoming more difficult to treat.

In addition to antibiotics, the following steps may help alleviate symptoms and prevent UTIs:

• Drinking plenty of water to help flush out bacteria.
• Wiping from front to back after using the bathroom to prevent bacteria from spreading to the urethra
• Empty the bladder as soon as possible after having sexual intercourse
• Avoiding irritants, such as douches, powders, and sprays in the genital area
• Wearing breathable cotton underwear and avoiding tight pants

It's also a good idea for women to schedule regular check-ups with their doctor to monitor their urinary and reproductive health.

Premenopause and UTI :

Premenopause is the stage of a woman's life when she is approaching menopause, but hasn't yet reached it. During this time, hormonal changes can increase a woman's risk of developing urinary tract infections (UTIs), as well as other health issues.

Here are some precautions that can help reduce the risk of UTIs during premenopause:

• 1. Drink plenty of water: Staying hydrated can help flush bacteria out of the urinary tract. Aim to drink at least eight glasses of water per day.

• 
  

• 2. Urinate frequently: Don't hold in urine for long periods of time, as this can allow bacteria to grow.

• 
  

• 3. Wipe from front to back: After using the bathroom, make sure to wipe from front to back to reduce the risk of bacteria spreading from the rectum to the urethra.

• 
  

• 4. Empty your bladder before and after sexual activity: This helps to flush out any bacteria that may have entered the urinary tract during intercourse.

• 
  

• 5. Avoid using irritants: Avoid using products like douches, powders, and sprays in the genital area, as these can irritate the urethra and increase the risk of UTIs.

• 
  

• 6. Wear breathable clothing: Avoid wearing tight pants or synthetic underwear, as these can trap moisture and create a breeding ground for bacteria. Instead, opt for breathable cotton underwear and loose-fitting clothing.

• 
  

• 7. Maintain good hygiene: Make sure to wash your hands and genital area regularly, especially before and after sexual activity.

• 
  

• 8. Visit your doctor regularly: Schedule regular check-ups with your doctor to monitor your urinary and reproductive health, and to discuss any concerns or symptoms you may be experiencing.

By taking these precautions, women in premenopause can reduce their risk of developing UTIs and maintain good overall health.
