Sperm donation is a medical procedure that assists individuals and couples in becoming parents when natural conception is not possible. This process involves a man donating his sperm, which is then used to fertilize an egg through methods such as artificial insemination or in vitro fertilization (IVF). Donated sperm can benefit those dealing with male infertility, as well as single women and lesbian couples who wish to have a child. Typically stored in a sperm bank, the donated sperm is readily available for various fertility treatments, including artificial insemination and IVF.

Selecting a Sperm Donor

Sperm can be donated by individuals who-

• Do not smoke
• Are aged between 18 to 40
• Are physically healthy
• Have passed extensive medical and genetic screening tests

Usually, sperm from anonymous donors are taken for fertility treatment. However, sometimes couples may have the option to choose a donor who may share similar genetics as that of the father among the recipient parents.

There may not be any medical risks when using donor sperm because all the FDA-approved tests & examinations are done before choosing the sperm donor. However, there are some which can occur in the later stage of life concerning parentage as well as influencing varying emotions.

As a renowned fertility clinic, we at Indira IVF provide infertility solutions to couples who want a safe pregnancy through third-party reproduction techniques. Our experts also counsel couples seeking advice and support patients through the decision-making procedure.
