For men who are azoospermatic, have serious genetic risks, or are single women with medical indications, donation from the Georgian sperm bank is an important and feasible option. Understanding the screening procedures and processes can help reduce concerns.

1. Who needs sperm donation?

Men with azoospermia without obstructive conditions, severe oligoasthenospermia where ICSI is not possible, those carrying genetic diseases that should not be passed on, as well as some single women with medical indications, are the primary groups eligible for sperm donation.

2. Screening criteria

Sperm banks will conduct basic registrations such as age, height, education level, as well as screenings for infectious diseases (HIV, hepatitis, etc.) and genetic disorders. Some banks also provide blood type and phenotypic information for matching purposes.

3. Process of use

Select a sample → synchronize with the woman's ovulation cycle → perform IVF/ICSI fertilization → culture and transfer the embryo. Frozen sperm must be thawed, and reputable banks ensure minimal loss during this process.

4. Anonymity and informed consent

In most regions, sperm donation is anonymous or semi-anonymous. The right to inquire about the child's identity after birth varies by country. It's important to understand the laws regarding informed consent in your country before deciding whether to use sperm donation.

5. Legal protection

Using sperm donations involves determining parental rights, especially in cases of single individuals or special families. This should be clearly stated in the contract, with the donor designated as the legal parent, and relevant documents should be prepared for return to the country of origin.

6. Recommendations

It's recommended to choose a qualified sperm bank that conducts thorough testing. Avoid using samples from unknown sources.
