Hormonal contraception refers to birth control methods that act on the hormonal system.
Currently, all hormonal contraceptives are designed for use by women rather than men, though research on a male hormonal contraceptive (“the male Pill”) has been underway for some time. Because women are typically fertile for only a few days during each menstrual cycle, usually releasing only one egg during the cycle, it is easier to disrupt their fertility with hormones than it is to disrupt mens’, since men are perpetually fertile and typically release millions of sperm during sexual intercourse.
Hormonal contraceptives may be introduced into the woman’s body in many different ways, among them orally, vaginally, transdermally, or through injections or implants. The oral method was the first and most famous of these; within a few years of its introduction in 1960, “the Pill” became one of the most popular contraceptives in the United States and elsewhere, and it remains so today.
