What are the explanations for an abnormal sperm count?
Here is the Abnormal Sperm Glossary:
- Aspermia: No semen volume
- Asthenozoospermia:Sperm motility is <40%
- Azoospermia: No sperms in the semen
- Globozoospermia : Round headed sperm without acrosome
- Hematospermia: Red blood cells present in semen
- Hyperspermia: Semen volume >5.5 ml
- Hypospermia: Semen volume <2 ml
- Necrozoospermia:
Nonviable ("dead") sperm - Oligoasthenozoospermia: Motile density is <8 million sperm/ml
- Oligozoospermia: Sperm count less than 20 million/ml
- Polyzoospermia: Excessively high sperm concentration
- Pyospermia: Leukocytes (germ-fighting cells) present in semen
- Teratozoospermia: > 40% of sperm seen are abnormally formed
