Background:

Limited options currently exist for male contraception.
There is a significant need for novel, reversible male contraceptive methods.

Purpose of the Study:

To review three recently developed male contraceptive methods.
To assess the feasibility, efficacy, and acceptability of these novel approaches.

Main Methods:

Testicular suspension via stitch and ball techniques in the superficial inguinal pouch.
Polyester sling insertion to induce azoospermia.
Administration of prolactin for contraceptive effects.

Main Results:

Testicular suspension and polyester slings were simple, applicable, and well-accepted.
Polyester-induced azoospermia may result from electrostatic fields and disordered thermoregulation.
Prolactin administration demonstrated efficiency and safety as a contraceptive method.

Conclusions:

Testicular suspension, polyester-induced azoospermia, and prolactin injection are reversible male contraceptive methods.
These methods, particularly testicular suspension and polyester suspensors, are practical and acceptable.
Further development of these techniques could expand options for male contraception.
