Oligoasthenoreratospermia
(low sperm count)
What is oligoasthenoreratospermia?
‘Oligoasthenoreratospermia’ is the medical term for low sperm count.
Low sperm count = inadequate quantity of sperm found in the seminal content of a man’s ejaculate.
Low sperm count also impacts the motility (movement) and morphology (shape) of sperm.
Low sperm count is one of the most common causes of male sub-fertility and male in-fertility.
How does oligoasthenoreratospermia affect your fertility?
‘Oligoasthenoreratospermia’ (low sperm count) impacts sperm quality. Poor quality sperm makes conception more difficult.
A ‘normal’ semen sample should have at least 10-15 million sperm per millilitre.
How can Oligoasthenoreratospermia be diagnosed and treated?
At Bourn Hall, we’re highly experienced in diagnosing Oligoasthenoreratospermia (low sperm count). For example, we use medical techniques such as ICSI to select the best available sperm for IVF.
