Some couples are unable to conceive naturally because the male partner may have very few sperm, poor-quality sperm, or no sperm at all. In such cases, doctors may suggest using healthy sperm from a donor. A sperm donation program makes this possible. In this program, sperm from a healthy, medically tested man are collected and stored safely, so it can be used to help couples or individuals achieve pregnancy through fertility treatments like IUI or IVF.
At Arihant Hospital & IVF Center, our sperm donation program is carried out with complete medical safety, privacy, and ethical standards. It provides hope to many couples and individuals who otherwise would not be able to experience parenthood.
What is a Sperm Donation Program?
A sperm donation program is a process in which a healthy male donates his sperm so that it can be used to help infertile couples or individuals conceive a child.
The donated sperm can be used in treatments like:
- IUI (Intrauterine Insemination)
- IVF (In-Vitro Fertilization)
- ICSI (Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection)
In simple words: Just like donating blood helps save a life, sperm donation helps create a new life.
Why is the Sperm Donation Program Important?
Male Infertility: Conditions such as low sperm count, diminished sperm motility, or the complete absence of sperm can hinder the ability to conceive. These issues often require specialized medical intervention to explore potential solutions.
Genetic Diseases: Many individuals choose to undergo genetic screening and testing to prevent the transmission of hereditary disorders to their offspring. This proactive step can help ensure a healthier future for the child.
Single Women: Women desiring to start a family on their own often seek out reproductive assistance. This choice enables them to embrace motherhood independently and fulfill their dreams of raising children without a partner.
Same-Sex Couples: Female couples looking to expand their families often turn to assisted reproductive technologies. This support allows them to conceive together, creating a loving and supportive environment to welcome new life.
At Arihant Hospital & IVF Center, our sperm donation program ensures that every couple has the chance to experience the joy of parenthood.
Who Can Become a Sperm Donor?
Not every man can donate sperm. There are strict medical and ethical guidelines.
Basic Requirements:
- Age: 21–40 years.
- Physically and mentally healthy.
- No history of genetic or sexually transmitted diseases.
- Non-smoker, non-alcoholic, and no drug use.
Medical Screening Includes:
- Semen analysis (to check sperm health).
- Blood tests for infections like HIV, hepatitis, and syphilis.
- Family medical history check.
- Genetic testing (if required).
Only men who pass these tests can join the sperm donation program at Arihant Hospital & IVF Center.
How Does the Sperm Donation Process Work?
Step 1: Registration and Counseling
Donors begin their journey by registering and engaging in a comprehensive counseling session. During this initial meeting, they receive detailed insights about the donation procedure, the importance of confidentiality, and their responsibilities throughout the process. This step ensures that donors are fully informed and supported.
Step 2: Medical Screening
A thorough medical screening follows the counseling phase, where a series of tests are conducted to assess the donor’s overall health. Semen samples are analyzed meticulously for quality, including motility, morphology, and volume, to ensure that they meet the established standards for donation.
Step 3: Donation Process
When ready to donate, the donor provides a semen sample in a private and comfortable room within the hospital. This intimate space is designed to ensure the donor's privacy and comfort. The sample is collected in a sterile container to maintain its integrity and viability.
Step 4: Freezing and Storage
Once collected, the sperm is subjected to advanced cryopreservation techniques that involve freezing it at very low temperatures. This meticulous process ensures that the sperm retains its viability for future use. The samples are then stored in specialized sperm banks, where meticulous environmental controls safeguard their preservation.
Step 5: Matching and Usage
When a recipient is ready to use the donated sperm, it undergoes a careful matching process. Donor profiles are reviewed to find the best fit based on several factors, including physical characteristics and genetic background. The sperm can then be utilized in various assisted reproductive techniques such as Intrauterine Insemination (IUI), In Vitro Fertilization (IVF), or Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI), depending on the specific needs and circumstances of the couple.
This entire process in our sperm donation program is done confidentially with complete safety.
