Hormonal Birth Control – It’s a Guy Thing, Too Unfold
-
- Sciences
Imagine this: A man rubs a hormonal gel on his shoulders once daily, and after a few months his sperm count is zero, giving him and his partner peace of mind that they won’t conceive. That’s been the reality for one couple taking part in a clinical trial for male hormonal birth control at UC Davis Health – and around the world. In this episode of Unfold, we’ll learn more about how the gel works from the physician running the trial, and we’ll chat with the couple about how using the gel has changed their lives.
In this episode:
Mitchell Creinin, professor of obstetrics and gynecology and a family planning specialist at UC Davis Health
Matthew Treviño and Emily Fletcher, couple taking part in the clinical trial
Edward Elizarraras, clinical research coordinator at UC Davis Health
