| Summary: | Birth control options for men are limited to only condoms and vasectomies. This
review focuses on various types of male contraceptives for adequate fertility
control and family planning by mutual understanding of couples (healthy family
planning). Male contraceptive methods include hormonal and non-hormonal
contraceptives, condoms, vasectomies, and using active ingredients from plants.
Contraception in men is related to progesterone concentration, sperm count, sperm
motility, sperm maturation and sperm viability. Studies are required on no
side-effect-safe contraceptives for men that control serum progesterone levels,
however do not increase oxidative stress. In conclusion, this article covers
hormonal, non-hormonal, and plant-based male contraception in addition to the
popular condoms and vasectomy. Furthermore, it includes partial description of
the variety and mechanisms of male contraceptive methods available to men. |
