For women side effects & adverse effects are weighed against the serious health risks of pregnancy
For men who cannot physically get pregnant, the threshold for "acceptable risk" is often set much lower by safety committees
We suffer more because men cannot get pregnant!
In summary:
•A hormonal male contraceptive injection that was 96% effective in preventing pregnancy was halted due to men complaining of side effects.
•The side effects (acne, mood changes, libido changes, injection site pain etc.) were very similar to those seen in women’s birth control methods and the overall rate was comparable or lower than that of women’s rate.
Yes, lower side effects, but it was still halted! men really have life easy.
