Contraception remains a major issue in reproductive health, still largely shouldered by women. On the male side, the options are few and outdated: condoms, withdrawal, or vasectomy, each with obvious limitations in terms of effectiveness, reversibility, or acceptability. Despite growing demand for a fairer distribution of contraceptive responsibility, concrete progress has been slow, hindered by biological, social, and regulatory barriers. The development of reversible male contraception faces the challenge of blocking sperm production without disrupting overall hormonal functions, while ensuring reversibility and long-term safety.
