Sperm bank
A sperm bank is a facility that collects, stores, and provides donated sperm to individuals or couples seeking to conceive. Donors typically undergo health screenings and fertility assessments to ensure suitability. The stored sperm can be used in artificial insemination or in vitro fertilization (IVF) procedures. Sperm banks maintain careful records to ensure the identity and health history of donors, and they often offer a variety of donor profiles to match recipients’ preferences. This service helps individuals and couples who face infertility, same-sex couples, or single persons wanting to become parents through reproductive assistance.
