Generally speaking, professions such as doctors and nurses are more sought-after professions in today's society, and people in normal professions will not worry about getting married.
However, there is a profession of nurses, almost all of whom are single, and even when others hear about this profession, they will think that it is not good.
This profession is a sperm bank nurse.
So why is this happening? Is it just because of people's misunderstandings? What exactly do they do?
In this era of material abundance but increasingly open values, there are more and more single people. But when people hear that most of the "sperm bank nurses" are still single, they are still surprised.
As young and beautiful angels in white, they should have already entered a happy marriage. However, the reality is far more cruel than imagined – they have to spend their best years in socially misunderstood jobs, and their loneliness worsens with age. What is the reason for this?
To explore why female sperm bank nurses are generally single, it is necessary to first understand the stigma and misconceptions they suffer in society. In this special job, they are often judged by outsiders.
A sperm retrieval room nurse, although she works diligently and has high moral character, because of her work in a sperm bank, she is often blinded and abused on blind dates.
Once, when a blind date learned about her profession, she fell into a long silence on the spot, and then turned away directly, leaving in her ear, "You actually work in that kind of dirty place?" What a disappointment!" of taunts.
Xiao Li was embarrassed at that time, feeling that he had suffered serious personality injuries and professional discrimination.
Similar experiences are not uncommon for her and her colleagues. Even some of the more open-minded people instinctively resist and dislike the word "sperm bank", associating it with derogatory terms such as dirty and dirty.
As everyone knows, the sperm bank is just a normal medical institution, in which all the operating procedures are standardized, professional and legal, and the nurses are just working there conscientiously, where is there any shame?
It's just that because of the sensitive topic of "sex" and the lack of correct understanding in society, people have a deep-rooted prejudice and suspicion against sperm bank nurses.
Many people think that they are "engaging in pornography" and "making money from pornography", and they are full of filthy imagination about their profession. An experienced senior nurse once said helplessly: "We are just doing normal medical work, but we are often wronged because of everyone's prejudice and abuse."
This kind of social prejudice is undoubtedly the main culprit that makes it difficult for female nurses in sperm banks to find a good match. Not only do they suffer discrimination in the workplace, but they also find a partner to marry, so it's no wonder that the single rate is so high.
However, sperm banks are of indispensable importance, and at present, the fertility rate in mainland China continues to decline, and the problem of population aging is becoming increasingly serious. According to statistics, the number of newborns born in mainland China in 2022 will be 9.5 million, a decrease of 580,000 from the previous year.
At the same time, the proportion of the elderly population aged 65 and above has exceeded 14%, and it is expected to exceed 25% by 2035. The declining fertility rate has exacerbated the difficulty of family inheritance, and the aging population has also brought great pressure to social and economic development, and it is urgent to find effective countermeasures.
At the right time, the field of assisted reproductive technology has advanced by leaps and bounds in recent years, providing a new way to cope with low fertility.
At the same time, the sperm bank industry is gradually becoming a climate, collecting and storing male sperm in a standardized and orderly manner, providing valuable donation resources for infertile families.
In fact, the existence of sperm banks is not only conducive to alleviating the fertility dilemma in the mainland, but also brings hope to special families. For example, some single mothers, same-sex couples, and infertile families can find suitable donation resources through sperm banks to fulfill their dream of having a child.
It can be said that the sperm bank has achieved a "continuation of life" to some extent. Its existence not only has important medical significance, but also contains humanistic care to help the disadvantaged groups and promote family harmony.
Although the sperm bank industry is still in its infancy in mainland China, and there are some controversies and doubts about it in public opinion, it is an emerging thing that meets the development needs of the times and deserves to be taken seriously.
As a special medical institution, the main function of a sperm bank is to collect, store and provide male sperm. As sperm bank nurses, their work is far more professional and rigorous than expected.
The first is to conduct a medical examination and information registration of the donor to understand his physical condition and genetic background. After that, they are arranged to complete the collection work on their own in a special collection room, and the nurses generally do not have direct contact with the person.
However, that doesn't mean they're out of an awkward situation. There was a donor who almost forgot to close the door and was inadvertently bumped into by a passing nurse, and both parties felt very shy at that time.
There are also donors who feel embarrassed and simply lock the door in advance, but they are locked inside and cannot come out.
Once the sperm retrieval is complete, the nurses will quickly bring the fresh semen sample back to the laboratory for aliquot and cryopreservation through a closed and aseptic procedure.
To ensure safety and hygiene, they need to be fully armed and tightly wrapped from head to toe to avoid any contamination. The whole process is carried out in strict accordance with the operation specifications, which is very professional and meticulous.
From an outsider's point of view, you may think that the work of a sperm bank nurse is quite "chic" or even a little absurd.
But in fact, they are just working diligently in their own positions, with a professional attitude and rigorous operation, to achieve the desire of different groups to have children, this job should be respected and praised.
But at the same time, it is undeniable that working in this particular profession itself does add difficulty to the love life of sperm bank nurses. First of all, long-term and high-intensity work makes it difficult for them to have enough social time.
What's more, once their work is known, they are often criticized and discriminated against by some people, and encounter some unfair judgment and cold eyes.
Of course, subjective factors such as an individual's lifestyle and values cannot be ruled out. Some single sperm bank nurses may have chosen a relatively simple and comfortable life, unwilling to sacrifice their careers for love and marriage.
At the end of the day, sperm bank nurses are engaged in a job that has great significance to society. The sperm bank nurses contribute their strength to the continuation of life in obscurity, and are a group of people who deserve the respect and care of the society.
We hope that through our understanding and support, they can devote themselves to their work and solve problems for infertile families with a more professional spirit.
At the same time, I also hope that the whole society can truly move towards openness and inclusiveness, and abandon all narrow stereotypes.
For this special and glorious professional group, we should look at it with appreciation and respect, accept it with an inclusive mind, and let everyone freely choose and engage in the work they yearn for.
