Vasectomy for €610. The complete process.

The price includes the assessment related to the procedure, the operation, routine follow-up and the first semen analysis at around two months. If sperm are still present and the urologist asks for repeat testing, analyses at around four and six months are also included. There is no additional charge for those semen tests.

Frenuloplasty is €610 and phimosis surgery or circumcision is €810 when those are the procedures indicated after assessment.

Our commitment is to offer at least one available vasectomy date within 30 days once medical assessment confirms that the procedure is suitable. You may choose a later date if that works better for you.

No. Sperm remain in the distal part of the ducts after the procedure. You must continue using another contraceptive method until the semen analysis confirms an appropriate result and you are told that you may stop.

The first check is scheduled at around two months. If sperm are still present, it is repeated at around four months and, if still required, again at around six months. The precise schedule may be adjusted on clinical grounds.

The urologist will assess the number and motility of sperm, the trend in previous results and your individual circumstances. Further testing or other measures may be required. A website cannot predetermine that clinical decision.

No. Askabide uses a conventional surgical technique under local anaesthesia, with electrosurgery used according to the specialist’s protocol. We do not use the commercial “no-scalpel” label or claim that one technique is universally superior for every patient.

Local anaesthetic is applied to the skin and tissues of the scrotum; it is not injected into the testicle. The area is checked before the procedure begins to ensure that it is adequately anaesthetised.

Our initial protocol calls for 48 hours of rest at home. Activity should then be resumed gradually according to your recovery, type of work and the instructions you receive. Sport, heavy exertion and sexual intercourse should resume when the clinical team advises.

Vasectomy prevents sperm from entering the semen, but it does not stop testosterone production or the mechanisms responsible for erection and orgasm. You will still ejaculate; semen volume generally changes very little because most of the fluid comes from the prostate and seminal vesicles.

No. Vasectomy is intended to prevent pregnancy. Condoms remain necessary when appropriate to reduce the risk of sexually transmitted infections.

It should be regarded as permanent. Reversal procedures and assisted reproduction exist, but they are complex, may be expensive and do not guarantee pregnancy. The decision should be made on the assumption that it will be permanent.

It is highly effective, but no surgical procedure can promise zero risk. Early failure, recanalisation or a remote late risk can occur even after an appropriate check. Follow-up and semen analysis are therefore essential parts of the process.

A short frenulum pulls on the underside of the glans and may cause pain or tearing during erection. Phimosis is difficulty or inability to retract the foreskin. They may occur separately or together; examination determines which procedure, if any, is appropriate.

We do not provide general urology consultations. Dr Ramón Ibáñez assesses, operates and follows up vasectomy, short frenulum and phimosis at Askabide. Prostate problems, stones, urinary infections, erectile dysfunction and other conditions require a general urology service.
