Can't they design a birth control pill to temporarily reduce sperm counts?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Maybe.: Such a treatment is currently being investigated, but so far has not been perfected. Due to the recent discovery of a gene that prevents sperm from maturing, there now appears to be a pathway for developing such a "pill".
