Male contraception

Copyright © 2023. Published by Elsevier Masson SAS..

CONTEXT: Contraception is a major global health issue, which is still dominated by female contraception. Developments in male contraception could help redistribute the contraceptive burden.

METHODS: A literature search was carried out to review the existing options and the criteria for optimal contraception, to establish the principles of a male pre-contraception consultation, and to review the various research avenues with their advantages and disadvantages.

RESULTS: The new male contraception options are detailed, whether hormonal (androgen therapy, combination of progestins and testosterone) or non-hormonal, particularly thermal, with current results and avenues for improvement. Condom use and vasectomy remain the only 2 validated options. The recent development of minimally invasive vasectomy without the need for a scalpel and of occlusion techniques has simplified the procedure, minimised the risk of complications (pain, haematomas, post-vasectomy pain syndrome) and improved efficacy. The issues of regret and the possibility of repermeabilisation are also raised.

CONCLUSION: The question of male contraception will become increasingly important in consultations with urologists. The urologist will have to inform the patient, as required by law, before the vasectomy is performed, and provide the best possible advice on the technique, which will often be minimally invasive without the need for a scalpel. New reversible options should also broaden the range of options available on a routine basis, with a view to gradually moving towards contraceptive equity.
