Oligospermia
You may not know you have a low sperm count (also called oligospermia) until you’re trying to have a baby and aren’t succeeding. Tests may show that you have fewer than the typical number of sperm. There are treatments for many causes of low sperm count.
What is oligospermia (low sperm count)?
Oligospermia is a term that means you have a low sperm count. One medical definition is that you have fewer than 15 million sperm in 1 millilitre of semen. A typical sperm count is more than 15 million sperm per 1 milliliter of semen.
Besides being known as low sperm count, oligospermia is also called oligozoospermia. A severely low sperm count (fewer than 5 million sperm in 1 millilitre of semen) is also known as severe oligospermia.
