Abstract

Introduction: We evaluated the contraceptive methods which one is use or suggest by the urologists. Materials and Methods: We send e-mails to resident or specialist of urology and questioned their age, marital status, mean coitus count per a week, which method is use or suggest and his opinion for male oral contraception. Results evaluated with SPSS 11.0. Results: 193 persons included the study. Mean age was 32.4. Mean coitus count per a week was 2.5. Female oral contraception (n=45, 23.3%), condom (n=42, 21.8%) and coitus interruptus (n=29, 15%) were methods which most uses by the urologists. There is no choice for the vasectomy noted. Condom (22.8%), vasectomy (16.6%) and female oral contraception (16.1%) were methods which most suggests by the urologists. Conclusion: Urologists don't use vasectomy and rate of suggest of this method is very low. Condom is a common method for the contraception in this group. Coitus interruptus as a contraception method, is a common method in urologists who are married.
