New Horizons in Male Contraception: Clinical, Cultural and Technological Innovation Aspects
2025
Overview
Background/Objectives: The main contraceptive options for men are condoms, vasectomy and coitus interruptus. Clinical and preclinical trials are being conducted to develop a new male contraceptive (NMC), which can be either hormonal or non-hormonal. A patent landscape and literature review of clinical studies from the last 10 years were carried out to discuss clinical perspectives and sociocultural aspects related to the use of NMC. Methods: An integrative review of clinical aspects was conducted using eleven clinical trials, and a discussion of sociocultural aspects was conducted using thirteen articles. Results: Studies of non-hormonal contraceptives, particularly vaso-occlusive methods, are in more advanced clinical phases, demonstrating contraceptive potential and reversibility. In addition to clinical trials, efforts to develop NMC include addressing gender disparities and understanding masculinity. Alternative technologies and methods for contraception were identified as key to the development of NMC. Despite clinical and technological advances, there is a need to expand clinical studies on male contraceptives, involving larger samples, long-term follow-ups, and reversibility tests. There is a global social need that both men and women should have a wide variety of contraceptive options. Conclusions: This review emphasizes the importance of exploring new technologies for male contraceptives to expand options while optimizing the satisfaction and safety of these contraceptive options for the population.
