The sperm bank is a fundamental resource for assisted reproduction because 30% of couples’ fertility problems are due to male factors.
Sperm donation is anonymous, voluntary, and altruistic. It involves a young man with good semen quality donating his sample to the bank so that patients who need assisted reproduction treatments can use it.
Many patients also inquire about sperm cryopreservation, which involves freezing sperm to preserve male fertility, similar to the oocyte vitrification technique performed for women. Sperm cryopreservation allows the donor’s sample to be stored in the bank for later use in assisted reproduction techniques. This preservation technique does not affect the quality of the sample and has no storage time limit.
You can use the Sperm Bank without any additional medical preparation. If you do not have a male partner or the male partner has a severe infertility factor, the sperm bank is necessary for all of these reproduction treatments:
To use the sperm bank, the requesting patients must provide the following documentation:

As stipulated by the Law on Comprehensive Access to Procedures and Techniques of Medically Assisted Reproduction, gametes must come exclusively from gamete banks registered with the Federal Registry of Health Establishments (ReFES) of the National Directorate of Health Regulation and Quality in Health Services, dependent on the Ministry of Health.
The sperm bank samples used by WeFIV come from men between 18 and 40 years old, with good general and reproductive health:
All of the above steps are completed to guarantee all our patients a quality sample, taken with professionalism and all the necessary care. Each of our treatments is personalized and adapted to the needs of each patient. Even the donor’s physical characteristics are considered so they are compatible with the couple requesting the sample.
Sperm can remain indefinitely in a sperm bank, thanks to a process called cryopreservation. This method consists of freezing the sperm to preserve the fertility of the man, similar to the technique of vitrification of oocytes performed by women. This preservation process does not affect the quality of the sample and does not have a conservation time limit.
Yes, it is possible to choose the sperm donor, but there are certain restrictions. Sperm donors must be young men in good general physical and reproductive health, who undergo a series of studies and analyses to guarantee the quality of the sample. In WeFIV, in addition, the physical characteristics of the donor are taken into account so that they are compatible with the patients requesting the sample. However, it should be clarified that sperm donation is anonymous, so the identity of the donor cannot be known.
