Abstract
In the past fifty years, contraception has been focused in the research and development of female contraceptive methods. However, given the unprecedented increase in world population and the high rate of unplanned pregnancies, the need to search for new methods for male that prove effectiveness and long term safety have arisen. Currently the methods of male contraception available in the market are male condoms and vasectomy. Nowadays non hormonal methods are under investigation but still remain in premature stages. Additionally there are investigations in course for hormonal methods that suppress spermatogenesis in a secure and reversible way; even though hormonal methods are in more advanced phases of investigation, these methods are not yet available for popular use because they do not have scientific evidence to support their commercialization.
