title: [New trends in contraception].
abstract: Since the beginning of the world, humans are trying to find methods to allow the control of their fertility. Up to the present, more than a hundred methods of contraception were developed, most of them being derivatives from the first hormonal used methods. The reality of the modern world has imposed the necessity of focusing the research in this field in order to develop the "ideal contraceptive". There are three main areas of research, with already encouraging results: various combinations of hormonal and barrier methods, the contraceptive vaccines, and the systemic methods for men. This article presents a synthesis of the latest contraceptive technologies available on the market, and the main areas of research in this field, separated by gender.
