Terms oligospermia, oligozoospermia, and low sperm count refer to semen with a low concentration of sperm[1] and is a common finding in male infertility. Often semen with a decreased sperm concentration may also show significant abnormalities in sperm morphology and motility (technically oligoasthenoteratozoospermia). There has been interest in replacing the descriptive terms used in semen analysis with more quantitative information.[2]
