Background:

Current male contraceptive options are limited, necessitating research into novel, nonhormonal methods.
Existing nonhormonal approaches include vas deferens interference and thermal methods.

Purpose of the Study:

To review and describe various nonhormonal male contraception methods.
To highlight recently developed techniques and their potential applications.

Main Methods:

Review of vas deferens interference techniques: no-scalpel vasectomy, percutaneous vasal injection, Shug method, argon laser vasal photocoagulation.
Description of heat-based methods: wet heat and artificial cryptorchidism via testicular suspension (stitch and ball methods).
Introduction of novel methods: polyester-induced azoospermia and prolactin injection.

Main Results:

Polyester slings may induce azoospermia via electrostatic fields and thermoregulation disruption.
Prolactin administration demonstrates efficient and safe contraceptive potential in males.
Testicular suspension and polyester suspensors are simple, applicable, and well-accepted.

Conclusions:

Nonhormonal male contraception methods show diverse mechanisms and potential.
Testicular suspension and polyester suspensors represent promising, user-friendly contraceptive strategies.
Prolactin injection is a safe and effective method with future contraceptive development potential.
