Explanation
Male contraceptives work by interfering with sperm production or delivery, which means they inhibit spermatogenesis as well as the function of the male sex hormone testosterone. LH and FSH (both called gonadotropic hormone secreted from the anterior pituitary) have specific functions in the testis. FSH stimulates male germ cells for spermatogenesis and LH stimulates accessory cells, called Leydig cells to produce sex steroids, especially testosterone. Thus, these two hormones (FSH and LH) prevent male contraception.
