Declining or Waning
- Traditional Male Contraceptive Methods:
Research on historical contraceptive methods has seen a decline, as the focus shifts towards developing new hormonal and non-hormonal male contraceptive options. - Surgical Interventions for Male Infertility:
There appears to be a waning interest in traditional surgical approaches to male infertility, such as varicocelectomy, as non-surgical methods and assisted reproductive technologies gain prominence. - Psychological Factors in Male Fertility:
Although psychological aspects remain important, the depth of research specifically addressing psychological interventions for male fertility issues has diminished. - Basic Laboratory Techniques in Andrology Research:
There is a trend away from reporting on basic laboratory techniques, with a greater emphasis on translational research and clinical applications. - Animal Models in Reproductive Studies:
Research using animal models for studying male reproductive health has decreased, as there is a growing emphasis on human studies and clinical data.
