Donor sperm

Sperm donors are men who voluntarily provide their sperm for patients and have no parental responsibilities towards children born as a result of the use of this sperm.

Indications for the use of donor sperm:

• Azoospermia and other severe pathozoospermia
• History of unsuccessful IVF+ICSI attempts
• Hereditary diseases in a partner
• The presence of an incurable sexually transmitted infection in a partner
• Rh immunization in a woman provided her partner has a positive Rh factor.
• Lack of a sexual partner for a woman.

The SILK Medical directory includes donors of different nationalities and phenotypes.

Personal acquaintance with the donor is excluded. In the catalog you can see the basic data of donors:

• age and nationality
• blood type and Rh factor,
• height and weight
• eye color and shape
• hair color,
• face and nose shape,
• profession
• education
• Zodiac sign

Only IVF?

No, donor sperm can also be used for intrauterine insemination. Moreover, to carry out this manipulation, a diagnosis of “infertility” is not required, so women who do not have a partner, but dream of a child, can use it.

How do we protect our patients?

Complete anonymity when using donor material for both donors and patients. Preserving reproductive privacy is one of our priorities.

We strictly monitor the health status of our donors. All donor sperm undergoes mandatory quarantine in order to maximally protect patients from infections, therefore it is cryopreserved for a period of 6 months. After the quarantine period, the donor is retested for hepatitis B, hepatitis C, HIV infection and syphilis, and only if the sperm is again negative can be used.

Which method – IVF or insemination with donor sperm – is right for you, the doctor decides individually. This depends on many factors: diagnosis, age, AMH level, tubal patency, etc.
