Birth control, unlike marijuana, has no recreational use.
As an engineer, I would argue that birth control's primary use is recreational.
Birth control should be over the counter, full-stop.
This is really good news for women (and men in long term relationships with women). The amount of hoops you have to jump through to get birth control is ridiculous. Have you ever been in a planned parenthood? It's basically the DMV (with an equal level of cleanliness). Women have to make at least yearly visits to this place to get absurd and intrusive medical evaluations just to get the pill. Birth control should be…
What country is this? In Aus, this is a medical/GP issue and birth control pharmaceuticals are available at the chemist via a script.

There is a problem with birth control that the media doesn't like to talk about. While millions of women take birth control, almost all of them eventually (or immediately) hate the side effects. So most women take these awful drugs only because they are seen as the best way to prevent pregnancy. Cruising over to reddit's /r/birthcontrol now, this submission was from 16 hours ago: > So because I was losing hair after…
So I've taken out my sperm production using the old heat methods. It works, I've checked.
Thermal birth control looks like a good DIY and low-cost birth control method. DIY spermcount could help ease of adoption and autonomy.

>So I've taken out my sperm production using the old heat methods. It works, I've checked. What does this mean? That you raise your .. body .. temperature to the point that potentially some sperm die? In a consultation for a vasectomy, the urologist strongly wanted that alternative forms of birth control be used for several months as sperm already in the system - unless you're naturally not producing sperm, I doubt t…
Dr Roger Mieusset and volunteers tested a modified underwear with success and reversibility after 4 year use.

Would it help if the doctoring was split off from the online pharmacy? So both still telehealth / online, just separate.
Absolutely. I'm quite happy with online pharmacies and telemedicine as separate concepts; it's the conflict of interest inherent in "we'll refer you to a doctor who will give you a prescription so that we can sell you these pills" which concerns me.
On the other hand, it's my impression that most of the medicines people obtain this way - specifically contraceptives and erectile dysfunction treatments - are straightforward enough that an automated decision tree could probably do a reasonable job screening most patients.

? An annual gyno exam is a general best practice, whether birth control is involved or not.
