Oligospermia

Oligospermia, sometimes called oligozoospermia, is the term used to describe a low sperm count.  A diagnosis is usually given following at least two semen analyses, where in both the sperm concentration was lower than 15 million sperm/mL of sample.

Oligospermia has been divided into the three categories of mild, moderate and severe, depending on the amount of sperm found in analysis.  Less than 5 million sperm/mL is considered severe.
