WHAT DOES SPERM BANK MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Sperm bank

A sperm bank, semen bank or cryobank is a facility or enterprise that collects and stores human sperm from sperm donors for use by women who need donor-provided sperm to achieve pregnancy. Sperm donated by the sperm donor is known as donor sperm, and the process for introducing the sperm into the woman is called artificial insemination, which is a form of third party reproduction. From a medical perspective, a pregnancy achieved using donor sperm is no different from a pregnancy achieved using partner sperm, and it is also no different from a pregnancy achieved by sexual intercourse.

Definition of sperm bank in the English dictionary

The definition of sperm bank in the dictionary is a place in which semen is stored until it is required for artificial insemination.
