Vasectomy in Barcelona
A permanent, safe contraception option: vasectomy in Barcelona with professional care.
What is a Vasectomy and How Does It Work?
A vasectomy is a minor surgical procedure performed in men as a permanent birth control method.
It involves blocking or cutting the vas deferens, the tubes that carry sperm from the testicles. By preventing sperm from passing through, fertilisation is prevented.
It’s important to note that a vasectomy does not affect sex drive, erections, or hormone production.
No-Scalpel Vasectomy: A Minimally Invasive Procedure
At CGSants, we primarily offer the no-scalpel vasectomy technique.
Instead of making incisions, a special clamp is used to create a tiny puncture in the skin of the scrotum, through which the tubes are accessed.
This technique results in:
Less post-operative pain.
Less bleeding and swelling.
Faster recovery.
Virtually unnoticeable scarring.
Vasectomy as a Family Planning Option
A vasectomy is an important decision within family planning.
It’s an excellent option for men and couples who are sure they don’t want any more children.
Vasectomy Step By Step
01 Initial Contact
At this first appointment, all questions are addressed, your case is reviewed individually, and the procedure is explained in detail.
02 Procedure
A vasectomy is a brief procedure, performed at the clinic with local anaesthesia or light sedation, depending on your preference.
03 Recovery
After the procedure, you’ll spend a short time in the recovery room and can return home the same day.
Recovery is quick and generally allows you to return to your usual routine in 2–3 days.
04 Semen Analysis
A vasectomy is not effective immediately.
About three months later, you’ll need a semen test (semen analysis) to confirm the absence of sperm.
A vasectomy is the safest and most effective male contraception method, with reliability above 99.9%.
Effectiveness and the Post-Vasectomy Process
Several ejaculations may be needed to completely clear sperm from the tubes.
Confirmation of Sterility
It’s crucial to have a semen test (semen analysis) a few months after the procedure to confirm the complete absence of sperm.
Until then, you should continue using another birth control method.
Reversibility
A vasectomy should be considered a permanent method.
Although reversal procedures exist, success is not guaranteed.

Frequently Asked Questions About Vasectomy
Can a vasectomy affect long-term health?
Do you stop ejaculating after a vasectomy?
It’s normal to have questions about vasectomy, what the procedure involves, its effectiveness, or the recovery process.
You can consult our Frequently Asked Questions section for guidance, but remember you can always contact us if you need a clearer explanation or a personalised assessment.
Does a vasectomy affect erections or orgasm?
No. A vasectomy only interrupts the transport of sperm.
It does not affect hormones, nerves, or blood vessels involved in desire, erections, or orgasm.
Sexual function remains the same, with the added benefit of permanent contraception.
