Oral contraception for men, also known as a male contraceptive pill, is still in the experimental stage and not yet widely available. There have been many efforts to develop male oral contraceptive pills that can suppress sperm production, but they are often met with an undesirable, yet prevailing, problem: testis shrinkage. While there have been reports of a potential hormonal oral pill for men, they still come with many side effects such as weight gain and loss of sex drive.

One study conducted by researchers at Northwestern University found that men with PPA were more likely to have undergone vasectomy than cognitively normal men of the same age, with 40% of men with PPA having had a vasectomy compared to 16% of others. However, it's important to note that this study only showed a correlation and not causation. Further research is needed to determine whether there is a causal relationship between vasectomy and PPA or other forms of dementia. It's also worth mentioning that the vast majority of men who have undergone a vasectomy do not experience any negative effects on their cognitive abilities.
