Effective regulation of human fertility has global consequences in terms of resource depletion, pollution and poverty. Current family planning services predominantly target a female clientele with few significant developments in male fertility regulation for over a century. The last two decades have witnessed a gathering interest, initially from the scientific community, and laterally from industry, in the development of safe, reliable, reversible methods of contraception for men. This review summarises the methods of male fertility regulation which are currently available and critically examines the published data on novel developments in male hormonal contraception which offer the potential of improved contraceptive choice for all in new millennium.
有效调控人类生育在资源消耗、污染和贫困方面具有全球影响。当前的计划生育服务主要针对女性客户,而男性生育调控在过去一个多世纪里几乎没有重大进展。在过去二十年中,最初是科学界,后来是行业界,对开发安全、可靠、可逆的男性避孕方法的兴趣日益浓厚。这篇综述总结了目前可用的男性生育调控方法,并批判性地审视了关于男性激素避孕新进展的已发表数据,这些进展为新千年的所有人提供了改善避孕选择的潜力。
