China's sperm banks are already facing a shortage of donors, and the two-child policy may put more pressure on the institutions.

中国的精子库本就面临捐献者不足的问题，而"全面二孩"政策或许将加剧精子库资源紧张。

According to reports, a growing number of couples with fertility problems have visited local hospitals and sperm banks for consultations since the two-child policy announcement.

据报道，"全面二孩"政策宣布后，越来越多的不孕不育夫妇前往当地医院和精子库咨询。

"Actually, there has been a rise in the number of infertile couples who have come to ask about having a second child," said Xue Jie, a head nurse with the reproductive center of the hospital affiliated with the Nanchang Research Institute of Medical Sciences.

南昌市医科所附属医院生殖中心护士长薛洁表示，"实际上，来咨询生二孩的不孕不育夫妇有所增加。"

According to statistics released by the China Population Association at the end of 2012, 40m people have fertility issues, accounting for 12.5% of the population aged between 20 and 49.

根据中国人口学会2012年底的数据，我国不孕不育患者已达4000万人，占到20岁至49岁人口的12.5%。
