Infertility And Sperm Donation

Infertility And Sperm Donation

The act of supplying sperm for the purpose of impregnating a woman is called sperm donation. The male that does this is called a sperm donor and the facility here it is checked and stored is called a sperm bank.

Sperm donation may be given either anonymously or known, though laws may restrict the number of children each donor may father. BTW, I found a site about prostitutes in Spanish:putas Barcelona. When the sperm donor is referred to as a Known Donor it usually means that a woman or a couple has approached someone they know to donate sperm.

Most commonly though is the use of anonymous sperm donation which will be supplied via a sperm bank where the details of the donor are not divulged. While initially the sperm donor may wish to remain anonymous, this may not last as recent changes in the law in some countries means that a sperm donor or children conceived with his sperm may wish to contact one another.

The health of the sperm donor is paramount and tests for HIV, disabilities, sexually transmitted diseases like gonorrhea and syphilis, drug abuse or any genetic conditions are carried out on the sperm donor. The sperm bank will carry out checks on the man’s background and family medical history plus his characteristics which go on record for future reference.

Once that is complete, the sperm will be subjected to further tests to check that sexually transmitted diseases like gonorrhea and syphilis, for example, are not present but other details like his blood group and RH type will also be taken at this time. The reasons these tests are carried out are for the health of the child and to ensure that no genetic conditions or infections are passed on.

This is made possible by tests carried on the donated sperm at the sperm bank and to ensure the sperm will be viable, all details are carefully recorded before the donor can be registered with them. During the six month quarantine period, sperm donations cannot be used so tests are run to prove the sperm is healthy and can be used as soon as the quarantine is over.

Male infertility can mean that many infertility treatments currently available will not be possible if the man suffers with male factor infertility. Low sperm count, poor motility, or abnormal morphology of sperm can make it very difficult to conceive using your partner’s sperm but sperm donation is increasingly becoming a viable option for many couples. Increasing numbers of women and couples trying for a child are finding the benefits of sperm donation to achieve their dream.
