Ep 88 - Dude where's my birth control? The future of male contraceptives.

In this episode, hosts Dr. Kevin Chu and Dr. Justin Dubin engage in a timely discussion about the evolving landscape of male birth control options. With limited access to abortion services in many states, the need for men to take responsibility in family planning has never been more crucial.

The hosts welcome Dr. Brian Nguyen, a leading expert in complex family planning and associate professor at the Keck School of Medicine at USC. Dr. Nguyen shares valuable insights into the promising developments in male contraceptives currently in clinical trials, emphasizing the importance of providing men with effective, temporary options.

While the hosts advocate for vasectomies as a permanent solution for those who no longer wish to have children, they recognize that not everyone is ready for that step. They discuss the potential of various innovative methods, including the role of testosterone as a male contraceptive, and clarify common misconceptions about male fertility while on testosterone therapy.
