==[[Male contraceptive overview|Overview]]==


==[[Male contraceptive historical perspective|Historical Perspective]]==


The only forms of '''male [[contraceptive]]s''' currently available to men are [[condom]]s, the [[coitus interruptus|withdrawal method]], and [[vasectomy]].  Other forms of male contraception are in various stages of research and development.
==[[Male contraceptive pathophysiology|Pathophysiology]]==


==Methods in development==
==[[Male contraceptive causes|Causes]]==
* '''[[Reversible inhibition of sperm under guidance]]''' ([[RISUG]]) consists of injecting styrene maleic anhydride in dimethyl sulfoxide into the [[vas deferens]] and leads to long lasting sterility.  A second injection washes out the substance and restores fertility.  As of 2007, RISUG is in [[Clinical_trial#Phase_III|Phase III]] of human testing.<ref name="Finn"/>


* '''[[Vas-occlusive contraception]]''' consists of partially or completely blocking the [[vas deferens]], the tubes connecting the epididymis to the [[urethra]].  While a [[vasectomy]] removes a piece of each vas deferens, the ''intra vas device'' (IVD) and other injectable plugs only block the tubes until the devices are removed.<ref name="Finn"/>
==[[Male contraceptive differential diagnosis|Differentiating Male contraceptive from other Diseases]]==


* '''[[Heat-based contraception]]''' involves heating the testicles to a high temperature for a short period of time to prevent the formation of sperm. 
==[[Male contraceptive epidemiology and demographics|Epidemiology and Demographics]]==


* '''[[Adjudin]]''', a non-toxic analog of lonidamine which, in tests on rats, has been shown to cause reversible infertility.<ref>Dolores D. Mruk and C. Yan Cheng.  Sertoli-Sertoli and Sertoli-Germ Cell Interactions and Their Significance in Germ Cell Movement in the Seminiferous Epithelium during Spermatogenesis. Endocrine Reviews (2004) 25 (5): 747-806</ref> The drug disrupts the junctions between nurse cells ([[Sertoli cells]]) in the testes and forming [[spermatids]]. The sperm are released prematurely and never become functional [[gametes]]. A new targeted delivery mechanism has made Adjudin much more effective.<ref>Mruk DD, Wong CH, Silvestrini B, Cheng CH (2006) [http://www.nature.com/nm/journal/vaop/ncurrent/abs/nm1420.html A male contraceptive targeting germ cell adhesion] ''Nature Medicine'' advance access 29 October 2006.</ref>
==[[Male contraceptive risk factors|Risk Factors]]==


* A '''male hormonal contraceptive''' combination protocol has been developed, involving injections of [[Depo-Provera]] to prevent [[spermatogenesis]], combined with the topical application of [[testosterone]] gel to provide hormonal support.<ref name="Finn">{{cite journal |author=Robert Finn  |title=Male Contraceptive Methods Are in the Pipeline  |journal=Ob.Gyn.

==Abandoned research==
== Case Studies ==
* [[Gossypol]], derived from cotton seeds, was used in trials by the Chinese government for about fifteen years.  While it was found to be a reliable contraceptive, it has serious health effects, and ten to twenty percent of users become permanently sterile.  Research on it as a temporary contraceptive has been abandoned.
[[Male contraceptive case study one|Case #1]]
* Zavesca (aka Miglustat or NB-DNJ) is a drug approved for treatment of several rare lipid storage disorder diseases.  In mice, it provided effective and fully reversible contraception.  But it seems this effect was only true for several genetically related strains of laboratory mice.  Zavesca showed no contraceptive effect in other mammals.<ref>Amory JK, Muller CH, Page ST, Leifke E, Pagel ER, Bhandari A, Subramanyam B, Bone W, Radlmaier A, Bremner WJ.
