What happens happens if a man takes a contraceptive pill containing hormones?
Followed closely by the condom, the pill is the most popular contraceptive method in the UK, with most people taking the combined pill.
The pill is an oral contraceptive designed for a woman to prevent them getting pregnant. It stops the ovaries from releasing an egg each month, also known as ovulation.
It contains “artificial versions of female hormones oestrogen and progesterone, which are produced naturally in the ovaries”, as explained on the NHS website.

However, if a man regularly took the combined pill, which contains oestrogen and progesterone, he could begin to experience some side effects, according to Science Focus.
This could include 'feminising' physical changes, such as lowering fertility, breast tissue growth, shrinking testicles. It could even cause a reduction in sex drive.
The side effects could also damage a man’s health if he continues to take unprescribed pills.
Currently there are only two types of contraceptive methods for men – condoms and a vasectomy.
However, trials are currently underway for a male contraceptive pill, which works by blocking sperm production.
Lloyd Pharmacy Online Doctor said: "In a small trial it caused the hormones required for sperm production to drop, and some men experienced side-effects such as acne, fatigue and headache.
"Some men reported low sex drive and erection difficulties, but none of the participants stopped the trial due to side effects."
However, this could take several years to establish and to be brought into the UK for use.
In a survey done by the Independent Pharmacy found that 52% of men would take a male contraceptive pill.
