Sources and editorial criteria
Information is written for patients in clear language without turning general guidance into an individual recommendation. Askabide-specific service conditions are identified separately.
How we use sources

Open official source →Askabide service data
The prices supplied by Askabide—vasectomy €610, frenuloplasty €610 and phimosis/circumcision €810—the commitment to offer a vasectomy date within 30 days, the initial 48 hours of rest at home, the use of electrosurgery and inclusion of semen analyses at around 2, 4 and 6 months when required come from Askabide’s protocol and service information. They are reviewed when care arrangements change.
Limits of this information
Guidelines describe general principles. The urologist may alter timing, tests or aftercare because of medical history, findings, medication, complications or laboratory results. The website does not replace a medical history, examination or informed consent.
