Data shows that among the male infertility population, unexplained infertility is as high as 60% -75%. At present, the infertility rate among the population in Guangdong is about 15%, with male and female reasons accounting for half. In families with male infertility, 10% -20% of couples need to seek assistance from donor artificial insemination.
Some men have normal appearance and can perform well in bed, but they suffer from severe spermatogenesis disorder, obstructive azoospermia, and no sperm can be found in their semen; Alternatively, even if sperm is found, it is not suitable to have children due to the man's serious genetic disease.
For them, what should they do if they want to "make someone" after marriage? Artificial insemination using semen from a sperm bank! "Reproductive experts point out a way out for such people.
The causes of male infertility are mostly unknown
After three years of marriage, both Xiaozhang and his wife have shown no obvious physical abnormalities, but they have never been able to conceive a child. After checking at the hospital, it was found that the problem was with Mr. Zhang. However, although Mr. Zhang has undergone genetic, endocrine, and infectious factors tests and spent a lot of money, he still cannot find the cause of infertility.
There is a significant characteristic of male infertility, which is that there are too many cases of unexplained infertility. According to experts, among the male infertility population, unexplained infertility is as high as 60% -75%. Varicocele accounts for 12.3%; Congenital and acquired gonadal dysplasia (epididymis) account for approximately 10%; Urinary and reproductive tract infections are only 6.6%, and other factors are even less.
On the other hand, the current treatment for male infertility still relies mainly on experiential treatment, and the cure rate is not optimistic.
Nearly 20% of infertile males need to "borrow sperm to create humans"
The survey shows that the infertility rate among the population in Guangdong is about 15%, with male and female reasons accounting for half. In families with male infertility, 10% -20% of couples need to seek "donor artificial insemination" - using semen from sperm banks for artificial insemination.
According to experts, the artificial insemination program is mainly applicable to some husband patients with azoospermia, sexual dysfunction (such as non ejaculation), and couples whose husband is unfit for childbirth due to serious genetic diseases.
Some people mistakenly believe that having an IVF will definitely lead to conception. In fact, the success rate of second-generation IVF (single sperm egg cell injection, targeted at male infertility treatment) is only about 40%. Compared to the "low" success rate, it is the high cost. During this process, if the pregnancy response is not good, it is necessary to undergo another pregnancy. However, even with an increase in the number of pregnancy trials, the pregnancy rate is still only between 40% -50%. It can be said that both "refinement" and money have been invested, but there may not be ideal returns.
Patients with severe oligozoospermia, asthenozoospermia, dysspermia, and other conditions who still have no effect after two years of systematic treatment or have failed in vitro fertilization can also consider artificial insemination using donor sperm, "experts said.
There are two steps to having a child through 'essence' - first a physical examination and then an appointment for surgery
Step 1: Both the former couple go to the relevant hospital for a system check. The male partner must undergo male and eugenics examinations to prove that they are unable or unsuitable to conceive, and meet the indications for artificial insemination by sperm donors. The woman must undergo a comprehensive and systematic inquiry and physical examination by a gynecologist to confirm her physical health, normal fertility, unobstructed fallopian tubes, and to rule out various factors that may affect future pregnancy. Moreover, both men and women should rule out the contraindications of artificial insemination: such as acute communicable diseases, AIDS, etc., and those with family history of genetic diseases should also receive genetic counseling. The initial inspection fee for both spouses is approximately 4000 to 5000 yuan. If the examination is suitable for surgery, the cost ranges from 6000 yuan to 8000 yuan per cycle.
Step 2: If both parties meet all the conditions for artificial insemination, the doctor will have a conversation with the couple to confirm that the other party is voluntary and introduce the principles, process, and various medical and social ethical issues that may be involved in artificial insemination. Enable each couple to have a thorough understanding and psychological preparation of all aspects of the surgery. Then make an appointment for the surgery.
