Donor sperm

Donor sperm may be discussed when there is azoospermia, a severe male factor that cannot be overcome with the couple’s own sperm, a significant genetic concern, or when a single woman or couple needs donor sperm after counselling.

General process

Donor sperm used in treatment is typically screened according to medical standards. It may be used for IUI, IVF, or ICSI depending on the female partner’s fertility and overall plan. Selection follows regulation and clinic policy, not online catalogues on this site.

IUI, IVF, and ICSI context

If tubes are open and other factors are favourable, IUI with donor sperm may be considered. If additional female factors exist, IVF or ICSI may be more appropriate. Your specialist will explain why a method is suggested.

Frequently asked questions

Is donor sperm the same as using a known donor?

Some people ask about known donors. Legal and screening requirements differ and must follow current Indian rules. Discuss this in clinic; we cannot give legal advice here.

Will ICSI always be needed with donor sperm?

Not always. The laboratory method depends on sample quality after thaw and the agreed treatment type.
