Therapeutic Insemination with Donor Sperm/Semen Banking

• Therapeutic Insemination with Donor Sperm, also known as Intrauterine Insemination (IUI) with Donor Sperm, is a fertility treatment option for individuals or couples who are unable to conceive using their own sperm. This procedure involves the direct injection of donor sperm into the woman's uterus, bypassing the cervix, to increase the chances of fertilization.
• Semen banking, or sperm banking, is the process of collecting, analyzing, and storing donor sperm for future use in fertility treatments. Sperm banks maintain a repository of donor sperm samples that have been screened for genetic and infectious diseases, and are made available to individuals or couples who require donor sperm for reproductive purposes.
• The use of donor sperm, combined with therapeutic insemination, can be a viable option for individuals or couples dealing with male factor infertility, such as low sperm count, poor sperm motility, or genetic conditions. This approach can also benefit single women or same-sex female couples who wish to have children. The success rates of IUI with donor sperm can vary depending on the woman's age, overall fertility status, and the quality of the donor sperm.
