Low sperm count (oligospermia) indicates
that there are less than 20 millions
spermatozoids in 1ml of a sperm sample.
Low morph (teratospermia) means that less
than 50% of the spermatozoids in the
ejaculate have normal morphology. Both
conditions ,oligospermia and
teratospermia, restrict the ability to
fertilize. Chances for achieving pregnancy
without treatment or using assisted
reproductive techniques (ICSI, IVF) depend
upon the severity of the spermatogenesis
disorder.
