For whom

Most women want a birth control method which offers the following characteristics:
It was found that the effectiveness of a method is the single most important factor valued by women
Women also saw the protection against sexual transmitted diseases as being an important consideration
Other health concerns were also highly valued
Women expressed interest in methods that would provide long duration of action. Three to five years was the period of desired protection most commonly mentioned
For the majority of women a contraceptive method should be reversible
Secrecy in contraceptive use from husband and other family members is important for some women
Women are largely dismayed at the prospect of a contraceptive method that causes amenorrhoea (absence of bleeding)
GyneFix® is an ideal contraceptive for many women, it may be ideal for use in younger women too because it is small, effective and well tolerated. Unlike the pill, it is genuinely "fit-and-forget". In use, it is much more effective than pills in this age group.

GyneFix® also offers an alternative to irreversible sterilization. According to research around 50% of couples above the age of 40 prevent pregnancy by means of sterilisation of one or the other partner. This involves surgery that many people are reluctant to undergo, it is also difficult to reverse. Statistics show that although it involves surgery, and is not always successful, almost 20% of sterilised women still seek a reversal.
