1985年，哥伦比亚计划生育协会PROFAMILIA认识到，男子不愿意到其计划生育中心来，仅仅是因为他们对那里的女性气氛感到害怕。她们甚至不敢向女性专业人员透露自己的问题和性问题。解决办法是建立一个计划生育中心，La Clinica del Hombre（男子诊所），专门为男子提供服务，并配备男子工作人员，以提供必要的隐私。拉丁美洲男人的态度正在改变。1985年在波哥大，大多数男人相信输精管切除术等同于阉割。1993年，该诊所每月进行300例输精管切除术。哥伦比亚计划生育协会不仅提供避孕药具，而且还提供性教育和生殖教育信息，以避免对现有方法的误解。PROFAMILIA将性咨询纳入其服务范围，因此他们可以分别处理丈夫和妻子的问题，而不会破坏夫妻关系。由于国际捐助者的捐助，PROFAMILIA现在有7个男子计划生育诊所和48个妇女计划生育诊所。来自美国的一位匿名捐助者提供的男子方案挑战赠款帮助筹集资金，在需求迫切的大西洋海岸地区开设了3个诊所。除了泌尿科、普通内科、门诊外科和性传播疾病治疗外，人类诊所还将纳入一个治疗不孕症的方案。1994年1月，他们将开始提供牙科和整形手术服务，因为由于该国存在暴力，有许多男子的脸被毁容，需要进行矫正整形手术。
In 1985 the Colombian Family Planning Association PROFAMILIA realized that men did not want to come to its family planning centers simply because they felt intimidated by the feminine atmosphere there. Nor did they dare disclose their problems and sexual questions even to a female professional. The solution was to establish a family planning center, La Clinica del Hombre (Men's Clinic), providing services exclusively for men and staffed with men to provide the necessary privacy. Latin American men's attitudes are changing. In 1985 in Bogota, the majority of men were convinced that a vasectomy was equivalent to castration. In 1993, 300 vasectomies were performed in the clinic each month. The Colombian Family Planning Association is not only providing contraception, but also information on sexual and reproductive education to avoid misunderstanding of the available methods. PROFAMILIA has incorporated a sexuality consultation into its services, so they can deal with husbands and wives separately, without spoiling the couple's relationship. PROFAMILIA now has 7 family planning clinics for men and 48 for women, thanks to the contribution of international donors. The Challenge Grant for Men's Programs, given by an anonymous donor from the United States, helped with the fund-raising to open 3 clinics in the Atlantic Coast Region where needs were vital. The Clinica del Hombre will incorporate a program to treat infertility, in addition to the department of urology, general medicine, ambulatory surgery, and treatment of sexually transmitted diseases. In January, 1994, they will begin offering dental and plastic surgery services because, owing to the violence that exists in the country, there are many men whose faces are disfigured and who need to have corrective plastic surgery.
