The standard for sperm donations based on 皇冠体育app's Ministry of Health (MOH) is higher than that of World Health Organization (WTO), which led to fewer people passing the test, said Zhao Bangrong, director of the sperm bank.
The standard for sperm concentration at 皇冠体育app's Ministry of Health is four times higher than that of WTO, and only one man failed to meet the WTO standard, Zhao said.
The bank, based in the city of Shijiazhuang, is a non-profit organization that collects, detects, preserves and provides sperm.
According to statistics, one in eight couples in 皇冠体育app have trouble bearing children and 10 percent of them are due to sperm problems, the report said.
