Dublin, Aug. 14, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Research and Markets ( http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/224mq8/global ) has announced the addition of the "Global Contraceptives Market 2014-2018" report to their offering.
Contraception, also known as birth control or fertility control, refers to the use of methods or drugs or devices to prevent pregnancy as a consequence of sexual intercourse. Contraception methods can be temporary and permanent and are available to men and women. Permanent methods include male sterilization (vasectomy), and female sterilization including tubal occlusion or hysteroscopic sterilisation. Temporary methods can be hormonal and non-hormonal. The non-hormonal methods include condoms, diaphragms, sponges, withdrawal methods, cervical caps, and non-hormonal IUDs. Condoms, diaphragms, sponges, and cervical caps are also referred to as barrier contraception methods. Hormonal methods include oral contraceptive pills, contraceptive transdermal patches, vaginal rings, hormonal IUDs, and vaginal implants. Hormonal methods contain synthetic sex hormones estrogen/progestin or a combination of both which prevent ovulation and thicken cervical mucus in the female. Currently, hormonal methods can only be used by women. The development of a male hormonal contraceptive is an active research area.
