The Guangdong Human Sperm Bank, one of China's five, lacks sperm to accommodate the growing number of couples seeking help with having a baby.
More than 1,000 couples are on the bank's waiting list for artificial insemination in Guangzhou, capital of the province.
Doctors at the sperm bank said the list would keep growing unless it can attract more sperm donors soon. The bank attracts fewer than 500 donors annually, far short of the demand.
The increasing number of infertile couples in the southern region has been attributed to growing work pressure and heavy drinking.
