The Leicester Fertility Centre actively recruits and screens sperm donors for our own sperm bank for our donor insemination service.

The sperm bank is also used for the storage of sperm for men before they receive radiotherapy or chemotherapy for malignant diseases. As these treatments may have a permanently harmful effect on subsequent sperm production, sperm banking before treatment is commenced, provides men with the possibility of future fertility using their own sperm.

The Leicester Fertility Centre also offers this service for those men who wish to bank sperm before a vasectomy operation.

Patients undergoing Assisted Conception treatment may bank sperm prior to treatment if they have any concerns about being able to produce a sample on the day of treatment.
