摘要
The methods devised for male contraception are meagre. In the crrrent communication, we review 3 recently de-veloped methods applied for male contraception: testicular suspension, polyester-induced azoospermia and prolactin in-jection. The testicle was suspended in the superficial inguinal pouch close to the scrotal neck using 2 methods: stitchand ball. The azoospermic effect of the polyester sling seems to be due to 1) creation of electrostatic field across theintrascrotal structures, and 2) disordered thermoregulation. Prolactin administration, as a contraceptive method is effi-cient and safe and has the potential to be developed as a male contraceptive. The effect of the above mentioned 3methods is reversible. These methods, especially testicular suspension and polyester suspensors, are simple and easilyapplicable and were well acceptable by the subjects. (Asian J Androl 1999 Dec; 1: 161 - 167)
