The current state of research into new methods of male contraception is reviewed, with special emphasis on the efforts of the WHO Special Programme of Research, Development and Research Training in Human Reproduction. The article concentrates mainly on the development of orally administered or injectable substances capable of either (a) interfering with the hormonal control of testicular function, (b) disrupting spermatogenesis by direct influence on testis function, or (c) interfering with the fertilizing ability of the sperm and their transport. It is concluded that, despite the numerous areas of research currently being pursued, the availability of a new male contraceptive remains several years away.
本文综述了男性避孕新方法的研究现状，特别强调了世界卫生组织人类生殖研究、发展和研究培训特别规划所做的努力。文章主要集中于口服或注射用物质的研发，这些物质能够：（a）干扰睾丸功能的激素控制；（b）通过直接影响睾丸功能破坏精子发生；或（c）干扰精子的受精能力及其运输。结论是，尽管目前有众多研究领域正在开展，但新型男性避孕药的问世仍需数年时间。
