Donor sperm
Donor Sperm Bank
The donor sperm bank is designed to treat severe forms of male infertility, eliminate the risk of transmission of hereditary diseases, and for single women. In all cases, donor sperm is frozen and stored in liquid nitrogen for six months or more in order to reduce the risk of infection transmission from the donor to the recipient.
Choosing this treatment method is usually difficult for a married couple, since their unborn child will not have a genetic connection with her husband. It is very important that both spouses experience the impossibility of having common genetic children, and try to understand all aspects related to raising a child conceived with the help of donor sperm.

Patients who decide to use the services of a donor sperm bank are usually interested in how potential donors are selected and examined. Before the donor is included in the sperm bank, he undergoes an extended medical and genetic examination. He must be examined for HIV infection, syphilis, hepatitis B and C and a number of sexually transmitted diseases (gonorrhea, chlamydia, cytomegalovirus, herpes, ureaplasmosis, mycoplasmosis). The donor is examined by a therapist, a urologist, medical and genetic counseling, and additional genetic research (karyotyping, cystic fibrosis and AZF factor testing). In addition, the donor must be consulted by a psychiatrist.
Donor sperm is frozen and stored for six months (the so-called "quarantine"), after which the donor is re-examined for HIV infection, syphilis and hepatitis, since these diseases can be detected only a few months after infection (penetration of the pathogen into the body). The use of thawed donor sperm is allowed only after receiving repeated negative test results from the donor after 6 months.

Donor sperm can be used for intrauterine insemination (IUI) or in the IVF cycle. The Sperm Donation program includes all the same steps as a regular IVF or insemination program, only the donor's sperm is used for artificial insemination after a six-month quarantine.
In general, the use of sperm after cryopreservation instead of native ("fresh") does not reduce the effectiveness of treatment.

Sperm donors can be:
- relatives and acquaintances of patients,
- anonymous professional donors.
The database contains information about the donor's appearance, nationality, education, profession, marital status, and whether he has children. Information about the identity of the donor is confidential, and the donor does not receive information about the patients for whom his sperm is intended. The donor signs an informed consent stating that his sperm and the resulting embryos will be the property of the patients.

Requirements for donor sperm:
- the volume of sperm is more than 2 ml;
- the concentration of spermatozoa in 1 ml of ejaculate is more than 80 million;
- the proportion of motile forms is more than 60%;
- The proportion of normal forms is more than 60%;
- cryotolerance (survival of spermatozoa after freezing).
- Examination and conclusion of the therapist (1 time per year);
