Sperm donation

Sperm donation is an Assisted Reproduction alternative that thousands of single women, couples of two women, and couples with male factor problems can turn to in order to have a baby.

What is sperm donation?

Sperm donation is an altruistic act in which a healthy man with sperm of optimum quality voluntarily gives some samples to be used by patients who are seeking to have a baby and are undergoing Assisted Reproduction treatment.

Who benefits from sperm donation?

Every year, thousands of babies are conceived thanks to sperm donation, benefiting especially single women and couples of women who decide to live their motherhood.

Sperm donation is also a vital option for couples who wish to have a baby but have not yet been able to do so, due to male factor issues such as:
- Low sperm motility.
- Alterations in the structure and shape of spermatozoa.
- Low sperm production.
- Obstructions that prevent sperm from passing through.

How does sperm donation work?

Men who wish to donate their sperm must answer a comprehensive questionnaire about their medical history, lifestyle and family medical history.

Subsequently, we carry out the following steps in our Ingenes laboratory:

  • Analysis of at least two semen samples from the potential donor to ensure that they meet the conditions set by the World Health Organization (WHO).
 
  • Verification that samples can be properly frozen and thawed.
If the samples meet the necessary characteristics, the potential donor will undergo a series of medical and psychological tests.
Once accepted, the donor must come to the Institute once a week for a period of 3 to 6 months to donate sperm. It should be noted that each time the donor leaves a sample, it is analyzed again to ensure that it meets the established parameters.
