Low s***m count means that the fluid (semen) you ej*****te during an or**sm contains fewer s***m than normal.
A low s***m count is also called oligos***mia (ol-ih-go-SPUR-me-uh). A complete absence of s***m is called azoos***mia. Your s***m count is considered lower than normal if you have fewer than 15 million s***m per milliliter of semen.
Having a low s***m count decreases the odds that one of your s***m will fertilize your partner's egg, resulting in pregnancy. Nonetheless, many men who have a low s***m count are still able to father a child.
Symptoms
The main sign of low s***m count is the inability to conceive a child. There might be no other obvious signs or symptoms. In some men, an underlying problem such as an inherited chromosomal abnormality, a hormonal imbalance, dilated testicular veins or a condition that blocks the passage of s***m may cause signs and symptoms.
Low s***m count symptoms might include:
Problems with s*xual function — for example, low s*x drive or difficulty maintaining an er****on (erectile dysfunction)
Pain, swelling or a lump in the testicle area
Decreased facial or body hair or other signs of a chromosome or hormone abnormality
