The coordinator of the Fusa Services Area, María Victoria Simónhe detailed to this medium that In the first year of the service they carried out around 250 procedures: “Every year we project, for all services, 10% more consultations/procedures than the previous year, but until the year we do not make comparisons,” he said.
From the Ministry of Women of the Province of Buenos Airessee a relationship between access to this intervention and the presence of parents at home, from “Changes in dynamics in sexual and gender relations. ”
Father’s Day and Vasectomy: The Way to Family Planning
The organization added the vasectomy service in the last year – without a scalpel, with local anesthesia and a duration of 20 minutes – and its coordinator said that Most of their patients arrive when they perform specific campaignsas is the case of #Parernities responsible for Father’s Day 2025. Thus, “most of them concrete his turn.”
On his patients, Simon emphasizes that “many had already tried to become a vasectomy in the public system or prepaid, but most of the time they did not specify because of the delay to access the service.”
Along the same lines, he emphasizes: “At Casa Fusa, shifts are usually provided the following week of the consultation. A differential we have is that we prioritize to provide a quick response to those who consult. “
A factor that seems to influence the decision is the confidence that inspires that people from the circle themselves have passed through the same experience: “Many patients are interested in the procedure after a friend, known or familiar to have them recommended. Boca to mouth is key, since it serves to dissipate myths and fears “they hold from Fusa.
And they added: “We not only see this prior to the consultation, but in the waiting room. Even without knowing, situations of talk and mutual support are generated among those present“They pointed out that in their social networks they are sometimes the same women who consult for their partners.
This is related to the fact that “historically it was the women who took care of care tasks, including health.” In that sense, from the organization they consider that “Promoting vasectomy is key because it is a way to take care of family planning“
On the profile of the patients, Cohen points out that “they are very informed” but that their big question is whether their performance in intimacy “will be affected” and what is the time they need to stop taking care of themselves.
“We explain that for 4 days they should not have sex because that favors the reconnection (of the deferens ducts), he said and added that a period of one week without sporting activity is also indicated that can translate into blows. He also highlighted the importance of “care for three months until you have spermogram at zero“To stop using condoms from there.

Myths and the importance of male participation
For the clinic specialist, this procedure is related to “An increase in man participating in family activities”: “Man takes care of changing the diaper and also deals with contraception.” In that line, he highlighted the importance of the talk in the couple about procreation.
“The man is increasingly responsible for the woman not being using contraceptives. When they already defined that they will have one or two children, the population is increasingly controlled. It makes no sense for a woman to take contraceptives for 10 years Or have a IUD that can fail, “Cohen said.
Far from the myths associated with the intervention, it has an efficacy greater than 99.5% After the first three months, It is not reversible And while the recanalization of the ducts can be requested, there are no guarantees of effectiveness; The sperm disappear and the operation of the device does not record changes. Vasectomy does not prevent sexually transmitted infections (STIs), the only method that continues to do it is the condom.
From the Ministry of Women of the Province of Buenos Airesits director of Masculinity Promotion for Equality Ariel Sánchez He also maintains that there is a relationship between access to this intervention and a greater male presence in the home.
Although Sánchez does not consider a direct relationship, as a cause and effect, between the two phenomena, he does not say “Changes in dynamics in sexual and gender relationsproduct of feminisms in the daily life of all people: life expectations, jobs, the place occupied within a couple and the care tasks“
In this last point, a questioning that arises is “who should take care of and who does not”, associated with “all the conversations that the feminisms that have an impact on the participation of men in the health system”: “That put to men in a place of subjects that can also decide and they have to take responsibility for sexual and reproductive health care. “

In the way of seeing Sánchez, “institutions were transformed, by incorporating men as subjects to which you could be questioned in sexual and reproductive health when historically, in family planning, who were questioned were women.”
In addition, the official He said that from the Provincial Ministry of Health they are working on a “training program for professionals and offering the service without a scalpel” in articulation with the international organization World Vasectomy Day.
This enables more and more services with “very fast, ambulatory and effective” attention. In that line, Sanchez explained that when this type of shifts are enabled “They run out immediately”: “There is a demand for men who decide for a family decision”, so that their partner does not go back to some kind of intervention because “she already put the body” or for a decision to whether or not to have children.
A personal case: Ariel, 47 years and two children
Ariel is 47 years old, two children (14 and 16) and the vasectomy was made a year ago. Since the 40 that I wanted to perform it and stressed that sometimes “the schedules were complicated.” However, through his social work, he managed to access a turn for the intervention. With her partner, both took care of them at the time of intimacy (he with a condom, she with contraceptive pills).
“I wanted to do it for doubts. While it is beautiful to have a child, having 46 I said ‘I don’t want to pass that stage again’. I went, I talked to the doctor, I made the pre -surgical and they operated. At the time I left 3 hours I was already in my house, “he synthesized.
He also explained that he has known They linked the fallopian tubes But that the experience had not been very positive: “My lady did not want to link the tubes for what they told her and told her that when I could, I did the vasectomy. Compared to tubes, mine was simple“
He also highlighted what it was like to talk about the subject with his male circle: “The craziest thing was that talking to friends or acquaintances, I told them ‘Che you know that I want to do it’ and they told me ‘no, that is not done’. Many with my mind closed.” From his speech he began to internalize more since he joined a group in Telegram with men who talk about the experience.
