Low
sperm count means that the fluid (semen) you release during an climax
contains fewer sperm than normal. A low sperm count is also called
oligospermia. Your sperm count is considered lower than normal if you
have fewer than 15 million sperm per milliliter of semen.
Having
a low sperm count decreases the odds that one of your sperm will
fertilise your partner’s egg, resulting in pregnancy. Nonetheless, many
men who have a low sperm count are still able to father a child.
Low sperm count symptoms may include:
1. Problems with s*xual function — for example, low s*x drive or difficulty maintaining an erection (erectile dysfunction)
