Overview

The procedure by which a man donates his semen – the fluid that is released during ejaculation which contains sperms is called sperm donation. The donated sperms help an individual or a couple conceive a baby.

These donated sperms are injected into the women’s reproductive organs or used to fertilize mature eggs in a lab. Third-party reproduction is the one in which donated sperms are used.

The sperm donator can be known or anonymous to the recipient. When sperm donations are made known to the recipient, it is called directed donations. Before one donates sperm, he will be checked for medical conditions and other risk factors. Its also important to understand the psychological, emotional and legal issues associated with sperm donation.
